A Louers Lamentation to his faire Phillida.

To new Tune.

[figure]

MY Philida, [...], Loue,

And euermore farewell:

I must gee séeke a new Loue,

Yet will I ring her knell.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong,

My Phillida is dead:

Ile sticke a branch of Willowes

At my farie Phillis head.

Our bridall bed was made,

But my faire Phillida,

Instead of [...]lken shade,

She now lyes wrapt in clay.

Ding dong, &c.

Her corps shall be attended

With Nymphes in rich array,

Till Obsequies be ended,

And my Loue wrapt in clay.

Ding dong, &c.

Her Hearse it shall be carried▪

With them which doe excell:

And when that she is buried,

Thus will I will ring her knell.

Ding dong &c.

Ile decke her Tomb with flowres

The rarest that ere was séene:

And with my teares as showres,

Ile kéepe them fresh and gréene.

Ding dong▪ &c.

In stead of fairest flowres,

Set forth by curious Art,

Her picture shall be painted

In my distressed heart.

Ding dong, &c.

And euer shall be written,

And after shall be said,

True loue is not forgotten,

Though Phillda be dead.

Ding dong, &c.

Now euer will I dwell

Where my True-Loue doth lye:

And in some darksome Cell,

There will I pine and dye.

Ding dong, &c.

In Sable will I mourne,

The blacke shall be my wéed,

Ah me, I heare some talke,

That Phillida is dead.

Ding dong, &c.

A garland shall be framed,

By Art and Natures skill,

With sundry other flowres,

In taken of good will.

Ding dong, &c.

With sundry coloured [...],

As much I will bestow:

They s [...]ld be black and yellow,

In token of my woe.

Ding ding, &c.

True Louers be not scanting

With teares to make me mourne,

Since Phillida is wanting,

And all my ioyes are gone.

Ding dong, &c.

She was my onely True-Loue,

My heart can witnesse well:

Wherefore, in signe I loue her,

Once more Ile wring her knell.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong,

My Phillida is dead,

Ile sticke a branch of Willowes

At my faire Phillis head.

FINIS.

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).
