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 Shepheards delight. To the tune of Frog galiar •

ON yonder hill there ſprings a flower faire befall thoſe dainty ſwéetes: And by that flower there ſtands a bower, Where all the heauenly Muſes méets. And in that Bower there ſtands a chaire, fringed all about with golde, And therein ſits the faireſt face, that euer did mine eyes behold. It was Philida faire and bright, and the ſhepheards on • ly ioy: She whom Venus did moſt ſpight, and the blinded little boy. It was ſhe the wiſest rich, whom all the World did ioy to ſee, It was Ipſe qui the which, there was none but only ſhee. Thou art the ſhepheards Quéene, pitty me thy wofull Swaine, For by thy vertue hath been ſéen dead men reſtorde to life againe. Looke on me with thy faire eyes, one ſmiling looke and I am gon: Looke on me for I am he, thy poore afflicted Coridon. Dead am I to all delights, except thy mercy quicken mee: Graunt oh Quéene of elſe I die, a Pſalme for this my melody. The while we ſing with chearefull noiſe Wood Nymphes & Satyres al may play With ſiluer ſounding Muſickes voyce, reioyſing at this happy day. W. T. FINIS.
A pleaſant new Ballad of DAPHNE. To a new Tune. WHen Daphne from fair Phebu did flie, the Weſt wind moſt ſweetly Did blow in her face: Her ſilken ſcarfe ſcarſe ſhadowed her eyes, The gods cride O pitty, & held her in chaſe: Stay Nymph, ſtay Nymph cries Apollo, Larry and turne thee, ſweet Nymph ſtay, Lyon nor Lyger do 〈◊〉 thée follow. turne thy faire eyes and looke this way, O turne, O pretty ſwéet, And let our red lips meet: Pitty O Daphne, pitty O pitty me, pitty O Daphne pitty me. She gaue no eare vnto his crie, But ſtill did neglect him the more he did mone He ſtill did entreate, ſhe ſtill did deny: And earneſtly praies him to leaue her alone, Neuer, neuer cries Apollo, Unleſſe to loue thou doe conſent, But ſtill with my voyce ſo hollow, I'le crie to thee while life be ſpent, But if thou turne to me, I will praiſe thy felicity, Pitty O Daphne, pitty, O pitty me, pitty O Daphne pitty me. Away like Venus Downe ſhe flies, The red bloud her buskins did run all adown Her plaintife Loue ſhe now denies, Crying, helpe, helpe Diana, & ſaue my renown Wanton, wanton luſt is neare me, Would and chaſt Diana heare, Let the earth a virgin beare me, or deuoure me quicke a maid. Summer pure heard her pray, Pitty O Daphe, pitty O pitty me, pitty O Daphne pitty me. Amazed ſtood Apollo then, When he beheld Daphne turnd as ſhe deſired Accurſed am I aboue Gods and men, With griefe & laments my ſences are tired, Farewell falſe Daphne moſt vnkind, My loue is buried in this graue, Long haue I ſought loue, yet loue could not finde, Therefore this is my Epithite, This trée doth Daphne couer, That neuer pittied Louer, Farewell faiſe Daphne that would not pitty nor be my Loue, yet art thou my frée. me, FINIS,
