To an excellent old Tune called Cavalilly-man.

COme all our Caballers & Parliament Votes

That ſtickl'd for hanging & cuting of throats,

Lament the misfortune of perjured Otes.

Who firſt muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

What Devil ſuſpected this, 5 years agon,

When I was in hopes to hang up half the Town,

I Swore againſt Miter and Curſed the Crown.

But now muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

I curſed the Biſhops and hang'd up the Prieſts,

I ſwore my ſelf Doctor yet never could Preach,

But a Cant full of Blaſphemy all I could reach.

I now muſt be Pillor'd, and after be Hang'd.

Now Otes is i'th' Cubboard & Manger with Colt,

The Caldron may boyl me for fear I ſhould molt,

here I 've ne'r a Bum for a VVheel-Barrow jolt.

Yet now muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

My forty Commiſſions and Spaniſh black Bills,

Inviſible Armys lodg'd upon Hills,

Such old perjur'd Nonſence my Narrative fills.

That I now muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

My twelve pounds a Week I want to ſupport

For ſtinking i'th' City and fouling the Court,

Like Devil in Dungeon I'm now hamper'd fort.

Yet firſt muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd

They hang us in order, the Devil knows how,

'Zounds all that e're put one paw to the Plow,

I ne'r fear'd the Devil would fail me till now.

That I firſt muſt be Pillor'd & after be hang'd

For Calling the Duke a Papiſt and Traytor,

I often have call'd the King little better,

I'm faſt by the heels like a Beaſt in a Fetter.

I firſt muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

I ſwore that the Queen would Poyſon the King,

That VVakeman had monys the Poyſon to bring,

When I knew in my heart there was no ſuch thing.

I now muſt be Pillor'd and after be Hang'd.

I'm Reſolv'd to be hang'd dead drunk like Hugh Peter

If I can but have my Skin ſtuft with good Liquor,

Then I ſhall limp to old Tapskie much quicker.

But I firſt muſt be Pillor'd and after be hang'd

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).
