O all my good Friends, these presents I send,

yet neyther to beg nor to craue,

though some haue store, and I am but poore,

Ime content with that little I haue;

Ile nere for my want, turne Sycophant,

though many there be that doe so)

[...]t Ile honest bée, loue them that loues mée,

And care not how ere the world goe.

though fortune frowne, Ile not cast my selfe downe

But mildly beare what doth fall;

[...]re will make me but worse, and nere fill my purse,

[...]ut the day may come will mend all,

[...]en tis but a folly, for that to be sorry,

which must be whether I will or no;

[...]t impatience in rest, then Ile hope for the best

And care not how ere the world goe.

why should a man care, or drowne in despaire,

though his fortunes be nere so vnkind?

why should I be sad, for what I nere had,

[...]r foolishly trouble my mind?

[...] I doe hate, to pine at my fate,

[...]here is none but fooles will doe so,

[...] and be fatte, for care kils a Catte,

and I care not how ere the world goe.

To sigh and to waile, what will it preuaile,

or any whit better my fare,

When a little good mirth, mong'st friends, is more worth,

and better then a great deale of care;

Then Ile chéere vp my selfe, for content is great wealth

let sighing and sorrowing goe,

Ile laugh and be merry, with a cup of old Sherry,

and care not how ere the world goe.

Though many a Chuffe, hath more then enough,

why should I repine at their blisse?

If I am content with what God hath sent,

I thinke I doe not amisse:

Let others haue wealth, so I haue my health,

and money to pay what I owe,

Ile laugh and be merry, sing downe a downe derry,

and care not how ere the world goe.

Ile make much of one, for when I am gone,

then whats all the world unto mée?

Ile not be a slaue, to that which I haue,

but mong'st my friends let it flée,

And least there rise debate, about my estate,

when my heads laid full low,

Or some knaues circumuent it, to whom I nere meant it

Ile spend it, how ere the world goe.

SOme Men doe suppose, to goe in braue Cloathes,

doth purchase a great deale of respect;

Though I am but poore, I run not on score,

I thinke my selfe honestly deckt:

Let others goe braue tis my owne that I haue,

and I thinke they can not say so.

And I like that I weare, though it cost not so deare,

and I care not how ere the world goe.

I'de rather goe meane, then be like to them,

which liuing in pompe and state,

Maintaine all their brauerie, with priuate knauerie,

getting gold at any rate:

Such conscience professe, but vse nothing lesse,

deceiuing the world with a show,

But the time it may com will pay such knaues home.

but I care not how ere the world goe.

Your delicate Cates your hippocrites eates,

and Wine of the best doe drinke

Much money they spend, but to little end,

and ne're on their end they thinke.

Low Shrubbes be secure, when Cesars endure

all stormes and tempests that blow,

Let others rise high, but so will not I,

for I care not how ere the world goe.

For ambitions best sceane, is but a fine dreame,

which for a time tickles the minde,

And the hap of an houre, with such enuy may lowre,

as may turne all ones hope into winde,

Then worse then before, they may sigh and deplore

to [...]e themselues cast off so low.

When I all the while, doe sit and smile,

and care not how ere the world goe.

The flattering Curres, which fawne vpon surres,

and hang on the Noble-mans becke,

That crouch at their héele, whilst their bounty they féel

professing al loue and respect,

Yet when they doe fall, they runne away all,

but I hate to dissemble so

What I doe for my part, shall come from my heart,

and I care not how ere the world goe.

Ile wrong none not I, but if some through enuy,

doe wrong me without a cause,

Or if me they disdaine, Ile slight them againe,

and reckon not of it two strawes;

Dissembling I scorne, for I am frée borne,

my happinesse lies not below,

Though my words they want art, I speake from m [...] hear [...]

and I care not how ere the world goe.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
