[guitarra, fols 119-199v]
Vn lazo en mi vientre ves,
vozes doy muy entonadas,
mas de animales prestadas,
tengo vna puente a mis pies,
cejas negras y estiradas
[vihuela, fols 133-133v]
Todos sin ser ordenada
ordenes dezis que tengo
pero aunque soy entonada
y de tanta orden cercada
dellas ni de Iglesia vengo.

corona1999, 300 notes with reference to the text about the guitarra: “Ceja usually meant the nut of the instrument, but here the context makes it plain that it refers to a carved bridge.” although this does not really make sense. The cejas may be a reference to another part higher on the instrument as the “puente” is at its feet.
