LEB/2/65/4 Polly's Love or The Cruel Ship's Carpenter
Tune Analysis: This is a full heptatonic or 7 note scale. The key would be C major (C Ionian) except for the comment in the MS that the Fs were sometimes sharpened. If all of the Fs were sharpened the key would be C Lydian (an extremely rare mode in English folk song). As it stands, however, the tune presents as an Ionian/Lydian hybrid.
