She Hath an Eye (Iones 1609 Tk1
This is the the 2nd stanza only and it starts "She Hath a Lip". For this Take 1, I play slower and, I did not make so many mistakes as I made in Take 2, 3, & 4. But for the reverb recorded into the vocal it has no effects on it.
Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.
Story behind the song
This is the the 2nd stanza only and it starts "She Hath a Lip". For this Take 1, I play slower and, I did not make so many mistakes as I made in Take 2, 3, & 4. But for the reverb recorded into the vocal it has no effects on it.
This is from Robert Jones' "A Musical Dreame or the Fourth Booke of Ayres 1609". Where many of the 21 song were recorded by Michael Chance & friends (who recorded 11), and Emma Kirkbe and Anthony Rooley (who recorded 4) no one recorded She Hath an Eye.
I do not know of any recordings of this song and these recordings of mine are the only versions to go before the public. In April, 2009 I started to record these, my owne, interpretation of this work. 2009 was the 400 year anniversary of this booke and I recorded some of its music in cerebration.
In 2009 I managed to finally post a rough start of a page about "A Musical Dreame or the Fourth Booke of Ayres 1609" on my web site;

Lyrics
XII. SHE HATH AN EYE
1
She hath an eye, ah me, ah me,
She hath an eye, ah me, to see,
Ah me that shee hath too
Which makes me sigh as louers doe, hey hoe, hey hoe
Hey hoe, ah me, that an eye
Should make her liue and mee to die.
Wise mens eyes are in their mind,
But louers eyes are euer blind.
2
She hath a lippe, ah, ah, alas,
Two lippes wich doe themselues surpasse,
Alasse two lips for kisses,
Of earthly loue that heauenly blisses, hey hoe, hey hoe
Alasse, oh woe that a heauen,
Should make vs ods that make all euen.
Ladies kisses are a charme,
That kill vs ere they doe vs harme.
3
She hath a heart, ah me, ah me,
A heart she hath which none can see,
Ah me that I haue none,
Which makes me sigh, yea sighing grone, hey hoe, hey hoe
Hey hoe, aye me, that I part,
And liue, yet leaue with her my heart.
Hartlesse men may hue by loue,
This she doth know and this I proue.
