Behold Argile the Famous Rebel, He

Who aw'd Three Kingdoms, now ſubdu'd by Three.

Oh Archibald! (to ſave) hard was thy Doom,

I'th' Field a wretched Life to looſe at Home,

To the Tune of Sawny and Jockey. &c.

[...]

I.

THree bony Lads were Sawny Cloud Hammilton,

And Andrew Grier the Captain that led 'em on,

When for the Loons it prov'd a fatal day,

Argile was ta'n, and all his Men run away.

When Duglas Jiv'd him,

Riv'd him,

Driv'd him

And of all hopes had depriv'd him,

Routed him, flouted him,

The De'l bigotted him,

And now the States a Rope have allotted him.

II.

On June the Fifteenth, oh! 'twas a Fatal day,

Archibald fled, and all the Rogues run away

In a diſguiſe the Loon thought to ſhun his Fate,

Three bonny Boys ſtopped him on the Gate,

In a blew Bonnet,

On it

One hit

Such a bread Gaſh as made him tull own it,

Oh! ſpare me,

Diſarm me,

And do no more harm me,

For I am Argile the head o' th' Whig Army.

III.

Quarters, oh! quarters! I yield my ſelf Priſoner,

Here take my Sword too that uſeleſs Tool of War.

Footmen and Horſes, now I all give you o're,

Dunbartons Forces no Man can ſtand before.

But they will fight him,

Right him,

Fright him,

The proudeſt Fo; will put to the flight him,

Thunder him,

Plunder him,

Daſh all aſunder him,

And make Argile himſelf truckle under him.

IV.

Thus having yielded up both his Sword and Durg,

The Bony Boys convey'd him to Edingburg,

Where with a Train he enters the Water-Gate,

Th' Hangman walking before in Muckle State

With a Hemp Garter,

The Martyr to Quarter

And by the Lugs to cut the Loon ſhorter.

The ſame Fate

Ever wait,

To Crown the Rebels Pate,

And all ſuch Traytors as dare oppoſe the State.

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).
