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 New Scotch-Jigg: OR, The Bonny Cravat. Johnny wooed Jenny to tye his Cravat; But Jenny perceiving what he would be at, With delayes put him off, till ſhe found out his mind; And then afterwards ſhe proved more kind: At length, both Parties were well agreed, And went to the Kirk to be Wed with all ſpeed. Tune of, Jenny come tye my, &c.

AS Johnny met Jenny a going to play, Nuoth Johnny to Jenny, I prithee love ſtay: Since thou art my honey, my joy, and delight, I'le love thee all day. & I'le pleaſe thee at night. Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat. I have tyed it behind, and I've tyed it before, I've ty'd it ſo often, I'le tye it no more. O ſay not ſo Jenny, nor do me not ſcorn, For better poor Johnny had never been born: O kill not my Heart with being unkind, I'le ever endeavour to pleaſure thy mind. Jenny come tye my, &c. But Johnny I ken it, altho to my grief, When you ſtole my heart away like a ſly thief, You promis'd me Marriage, with many things more Which yet is not wiped out off the old ſcore, Jenny come tye my, &c. O Jenny, let none of this trouble thy mind, For now thou ſhalt ſee, I'le be loving and kind: A little forgetful I was, I confeſs, But all ſhall be mended that now is amiſs. Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat. I have tyed it behind, and I've tyed it before, I've ty'd it ſo often, I'le tye it no more.

ILe buy thee a Gown, and a Scarf, & a Hood: If thou wilt believe me, I'le ever be good: For Rings,& for Ribbonds, ne'r matter for that, If thou art but willing to tye my Cravat. Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat. I have tyed it behind, and I've tyed it before I've ty'd it ſo often, I'le tye it no more. All this you did promiſe me often before, If I would but tye it one time, or two more; But yet you were never ſo good as your word, Therefore for to tye it I cannot afford. Jenny come tye my, &c. My Jenny if thou wilt be ruled by me, It ſhall not be long ere we wedded will be: For I have got Mony, & Houſe, & good Land, Which all ſhall be ready at Jenny's Command. Jenny come tye my, &c. Beſtoes, on the Common I have got a Cow To give us ſome Milk, and bonny black Yow; I like wiſe at Heam have a Dog and a Cat, Then prithee good Jenny come tye my Cravat. Jenny come tye my, &c. Your Houſe, I believe, is not often repair'd; And as for your Land, it lies in the Church-yard: Your Money, if any ſuch thing you may have, With it kéep you honeſt, & prove not a Knave, Jenny come tye my, &c. Your Cow on the Common that grazes you ſay, May wheadle another your will to obey: Then prithee make much of your dog & your Cat, For I am not willing to tye your Cravat. Jenny come tye my, &c. O Jenny, why art thou ſo hard of belief? I fear thou art minded to kill me with grief: Before thee I'le open my Heart to the life. I tell thee I mean for to make thee my Wife. Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat. I have tyed it behind, and I've tyed it before, I've ty'd it ſo often. I'le tye it no more. Then do not thou ſlout me, but freely comply, Nothing ſhall be wanting for Jenny and I: Then give me my Jenny, thy heart & thy hand, For I will be ever at Jenny's command. Jenny come tye, &c. O Johnny! I fear thou doſt flatter me now, Or elſe I could love thee, I ſwear and I vow: But with fair deluſions I may be undone, Therefore from thy Jenny good Johnny begone. Jenny come tye, &c A Maid by her choice ſhe may ſoon be deſtroy'd And left in the lurch, when ſhe hath bin injoyd: But if you be honeſt, declare is in brief, And let me not languiſh in ſorrow and grief. Jenny come tye, &c. My Jenny, then prithe take one word for all, I never will leave thee what ever befall: In Sickneſs and Health I will for thee provide And at the next K • rk, I will make thee my bride. Jeeny come tye, &c. Then Jonny I love thee as dear as my Life, And I am contented for to be thy Wife: And we will marryed to both our content, I hope we ſhall never have cauſe to repent. Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my, Jenny come tye my bonny Cravat. I have ty'd it behind, and I've ty'd it before, And now I will tye it a hundred times more.
