Etatis Suae .17.

Printed for Robert Mabourne at the Vnicorne neare Fleet bridge

ECce duos fratres, unum s;imul, atque gemellos.

Ecce biceps animal, quadrimanumque, tri [...]os.

En geminos fratres quibus unum Corpus, at unum

Cor, vel mens illis, quis scit an una fiet?

Monstrum horrendum, informe infans cui lumen ademptū,

Seu mens lucis inops, seu caro mente carens.

Os habet haud loquitur ne (que) vescitur, aut bibit unquam,

Cernitur haud cernit, pascitur haud comedit.

Haud caput, haud oculi, neque dentes, lingua, nec aures,

Officium faciunt, pésve manúsve suum;

Fratris onus perpes, perpes quoque fratris alumnus,

Infans perpetuum, perpetuusque puer:

Frater idem Sofia & socius, noctésque diésque,

Bajulus assiduus, accubuúsque comes.

Frater idem, Mater, Nutrix (que) tenella, puellum

Ventre suo gestans, ventre forénsque suo,

A fratris vita, stat fratris vita, salúsque,

Fratre dolente dolet, Fratre valente vales,

Mirus amor fratrum, fratrum quoque gratia rara,

Cui gens aut [...]tas [...]ix tulit ulla Parem.

Spectatum admissi duplices ad sydera palmas

Tendere, mirari, quaerere, quid sibi vult?

Solutio Aenigmatum.

QƲid tibi portentum portendat, quid tibi prodat

Prodigium, monstrum quid tibi monstret, habe.

En clarum Cleri, Populique Emblema Latini,

En Latium Monstrum monstrat utrumque tibi,

Monstrum infans populus, fidei cui lumen ademptum,

Clerus luce carens, Relligionis inops.

Par caecum, stultum, miserum, plebs, clerus, uterque

Per caecam vivens, implicitámque fidem.

Ecce tibi caput & ratio queis nil sapere audes,

Nec munus praestant mens oculive suum.

Scire tuum nihil est, nisi te scire hoc sinat alter,

Credere nil, nifi quod credere Papa jubet;

Si negat ille negas, quod is ait, id ais & ejus

In verbum juras sufficit [...]

A Papa pendet tua vita, fidésque salúsque,

Papa errante erras, & percunte peris.

Ob miseram sortem, caecos Comitésque ducésque,

Quid vetat in barathrum quin s;imul ambo ruant?

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).
