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).

THE HUE-and-SONG AFTER PATIENCE. Have but a little PATIENCE, and you ſhall hear, How PATIENCE had the Gift to Lie and Swear; How PATIENCE cou'd with PATIENCE ſtand a Lie; (But PATIENCE wants to ſtand the PILLORY.) Out of all PATIENCE, to the Hague He ſteers: To ſtay He had not PATIENCE, for his EARS. To the Tune of, Hail to the Myrtle Sbades. I. HAil to London fair Town All hail to the Mayor & the Shrievs; Hail to the Scarlet Gown, Whoſe Sentence our Patience grieves: Juſtice and Law have prevail'd, With PATIENCE a Verdict to find, 'Gainſt Patience, whoſe conſcience fail'd; Oh Patience! why art ſo blind? II. PATIENCE, the joy of the Town, The comfort and hope of the Crowd; PATIENCE, who got Renown, By Perjury, Lies and Fraud: PATIENCE who ne'r had the Heart His Sovereign's Rights to maintain; But Patience he had the Art To Swear and Forſwear again. III. PATIENCE for Church and for State, And Patience for Meetings by ſtealth; PATIENCE, who wou'd tranſlate The State to a Commonwealth: Whoſe Zeal has his Patience betray'd, To lie for the Saints in diſtreſs; Nay, tho' he's Forſworn, ('tis ſaid,) He Swore he could do no leſs. IV. PATIENCE, whoſe Zeal did contrive The Monument Figures and Spire, That while there's a Papist alive We may not forget the Fire: The Pillory now is his Lot, He has rais'd ſuch a flame with his Crew, That London is now too hot; Oh Patience! where art thou now? V. PATIENCE for Zeal to the Cauſe, Did preach to the Captives in Goal; Patience, with great applauſe, Gave large to an Hoſpital: To USE now his Money may lend, For Pomfret he'l never more ſtand, Nor Warrants for Tories ſend, T'pleaſe Titus o'th' Perjur'd Band. VI. PATIENCE with Coller of Braſs, To woful Diſaſters did fall; Patience with Copper Face, And a Conſcience worſe than all; To Holland, to Holland he goes; For plainly now it appears, (That in ſpight of all Whiggiſh Laws,) Ignoramus can't ſave his Ears. VII. Some ſay that the Saints may not Swear, But Lie ev'n as much as they can; Yet Patience in ſpight on's Ears, Will Swear and Forſwear again: That Patience ſhould be ſo far loſt, Alaſs! who with Patience can hear? That a Saint ſhould be Knight o'th' Poſt, And an Elder without an Ear. VIII. Let ev'ry good Subject with Me, Who Patience a Virtue doth praiſe, Leſt he fall into Perjury, With Patience pray for Grace. But now I with Patience have done, Leſt with Patience I keep ſuch a Rout, That aſtray more with Patience run, And weary your Patience out.
