The song is possibly a mockery of the countess of that name, who was said to be the Bishop of Strasbourg's mistress.
Many composers have used this popular melody in their works: Purcell ("First Act Tune" from The Virtuous Wife, also known as "St. Martin's Lane" in the Playford), Campra, Philidor, Corrette, ...

But it is Corette: Concerto comique nr 25 ( last mov.) La Furstemberg

Good version on Archiv/Goebel/Musica Antiqua Köln
