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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

A Congratulatory ODE TO Admiral RUSSEL, And the other Sea-Commanders, For their late Glorious VICTORY.

S printer's or publisher's device

In the SAVOY: Printed by Edward Jones, in the Year 1692.
A Congratulatory ODE to Admiral Ruſſel, &c. I. WElcom, Ye Worthies of the Britiſh Iſle, Welcom from War's tumultuous Noiſe; To Peace and Plenty's quiet Joys, Joys bought for Us by your ſucceſsful Toile! Loudly abroad the dreadful Tempeſts roar; But You, Our Bulwark and Defence, Arreſt the baleful Influence, And ſcarce their fainteſt Ecchoes reach the Shore: Safely the diſtant Dangers We ſurvey, Secur'd with Wooden Walls, and Guarded by the Sea. II. Not ſo the French; who view'd with watry Eyes Their Naval Strength at once o'rethrown; A Loſs too Great and Publick grown, For any Pageant Triumph to diſguiſe: The Conq'ring Fleet does all her Canvas Wings diſplay; And like the Royal Bird of Jove, Does with reſiſtleſs Fury move, And ſeizes in its Neſt the trembling Prey: From the near Shore affrighted Normans ſee The Flames of burning Squadrons upwards riſe, A Bonfire fit to ſolemnize So Great a Victory. In vain at Land, by dull delays they ſtrive Ingloriouſly to keep their dying Hopes alive; In vain they ſhun the Engliſh Arms, Nor anſwer Our Great Monarch's loud Alarms; Whilſt unſecur'd by all the Arts of Fear, His Preſence awes them there, his Influence ſtrikes them here. III. How bright and dazling was the Glorious Scene! How rich the Trophies of the conquer'd Main! Room for the Valiant RƲSSEL arm'd with Thunder; See! how he breaks the Gallick Line in ſunder! In vain the furious Elements conſpire, Rocks, Winds, and Waves, and Hoſtile Fire; Undauntedly through All he ruſhes on; Their Order's broke, the routed Squadron flies; Down goes the Royal Sun, Down to the bottom, down, And Sets in Flames, but never more to Riſe. France mourns her Navy; and this vaſt Defeat Shews Louis only in his Loſſes Great. IV. Strongly this Great Example works on All; Through ev'ry Ship, each Loyal Heart, And Warlike Hand diſtinctly acts its Part; So well they Copy out their great Original! Some Live to Triumph on, ſome Conquer as they Fall: A Troop of Glorious Shades; while ev'ry Name Shall Flouriſh ſtill, and Live in Fame, Mention'd by ev'ry Tongue, where Honour is the Theme: Yet let no mournful Sighs ariſe, Let no ſalt Tears for Them be ſhed; Whilſt to the Living Brave we Sacrifice Our Sorrow for the Valiant Dead. V. Go on, True Sons of Honour, ſtill advance The Engliſh Glory, by depreſſing France: Go on to prove, how much a Royal Truſt Works upon Spirits that are Brave and Juſt: This Our Great Miſtreſs knew, whoſe piercing Eyes, Unprejudic'd by Lying Calumnies, Could look through ev'ry faithful Breaſt; And ſaw the Loyal Zeal they afterwards expreſt: Continue ſtill to prop that awful Throne, Which joins the Subjects Int'reſt with its Own: Whilſt France by ſad Experience learns from You, What WILLIAM's Thunder, plac'd in a Good Hand, can do. FINIS.
