Erige depressam Victrix Academia cristam,

Dii Tutelares rem Tibi nuper agunt:

Venit lo extorris (praeclarior ostracismo)

Anchora quassatâ deficiente rati:

Regibus ante omnes, Patri, Natoque fidelis

Dextera; captivo deliciae populo:

Virtutìsque supremus apex: hunc Anglia primùm

Suscipit in gremium, jam capit Oxonium.

Herculeus labor! at languens Ecclesia poscit,

Inque Tuas gestit tradere sacra manus:

Durius incumbens humeris onus utile Nobis

Expulsos revocas, restituisque Deos.

Cos Musis, cui terra minax, pelagusque pepercit

Annue, dans votis vela secunda meis:

Nutriat admissos (sit anus licèt) ubere pleno

Casta parens olim, nunc tibi filiola.

Enumerans Mecaenates sis ìpse patronus

Liber, ut excellens Bibliotheca crepat:

Legìs-latores auge, jurisque peritos,

Authores nullo codìce deficiant:

Redde antìqua, & erìs Nobìs Tu Stator Apollo;

(Jupiter hoc famam nomine nactus erat.)

Vi cum serus obìs post Te monumenta relinquens

Sumptibus hic cedant Seldeniana Tuis.

Erect thy Crest, Tryumphant OXFORD, see

The Tutelary Gods take care of Thee,

And call One home from banishment to steer

Thy shipwreck'd Barque, and be thy Mariner:

One thou maist trust, whose faith two Kings have prov'd,

Hence the delight of all, and most belov'd:

Whose stock of Vertues made Him first in power

Or'e England, now Our wish'd-for CHANCELLOR.

Go on, Great Hero, let the Church confesse

Thine is a Thirteenth Work for Hercules:

Yours is the Burthen, Ours the Gaine by odds,

That hast restor'd to Us Our exil'd Gods.

Thou by whose beams Our Muses thrive, for Whom

Land-tumults cease, and th' Sea forgets to foame,

Hear Our requests, May OXFORD sprout and grow,

(OXFORD, Your Mother once, Your Daughter now)

Live Our Mecaenas, pile on Books to th' height,

Untill Sir Thomas Bodley groan with weight;

Make LAW amends for its too long disgrace,

Be there no Idiom wanting to this Place:

Let Statutes rule, Restorer be to Us,

(Iove gain'd his lasting Name and Honour thus)

That when You shall (late may it be) go hence,

You may out-v [...]e great Seldens Monuments.

Robert Whitehall, Fellow of Merton College.

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).
