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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

The Bedlam Schoolman. To a Delectable new Tune.

Fancy. IN a Melancholly Fancy out of my ſelf, Through the Welkin dance I: All the world ſurveying, No where ſtaying, like the Fairy Elfe: Over the tops of higheſt Mountains Skipping Through the Fields the Woods and Vallies tripping; Over the Ocean Seas without an Oar or Shipping, Hallow my fancy, whither wilt thou go? Anſwer. Feel ye art led by thy Fancy, out of thy wits, For any thing I can ſee, Thou in thy fegary, Still doth vary, ever in frantick fits: What didſt thou ſee when thou the Mountains skipped? What didſt thou find when thou the Valleys tripped? Didſt thou ere paſſe the Seas, and yet was never Shipped? Hallow my mad brains whither wilt thou go? Fancy. Amid the clowdy Vapors fain would I ſee, what be thoſe burning tapors: That ſo much affrights us, And benight us, and what thoſe Meteors be: Fain would I know what is the roaring thunder? And what thoſe lightnings be which cleave the clouds in ſunder, And what thoſe Comets are, whereat men gaze and wonder, Hallow my fancy, whither wilt thou go? Anſwer. What haſt thou learn'd of the Vapours, cold, moiſt, and dry: Or of thoſe glorious tapors, That did ne'r fright us, but delight us, and ſo adorn the sky: What canſt thou tell of Meteors or of thunder, Have not their legend rend thy wits in ſunder? If Comets do appear, thou art a fool to wonder, Hallow my mad brains, whither wilt thou go? Fancy. Then did I look down below me, where I was on high, VVhither any one did know me, The world was then a madding, Running and gadding. ſo I do paſſe them by: He that's above, he that's above deſpiſeth, He that's below doth envy him that riſeth, So every one his Plot, and Counter-plot deviſeth, Hallow my fancy &c. Anſwer. WAs not thy fancy be falted; when in the ayr Thou wer't exalted when thou lookſt below thee VVho 'tis that knows thee, Or who doſt thou know there, what did the world there, Like thy fancy wander, running at random, Void of a Commander, I think with thy diſeaſe, ſome other thou doſt ſlander, Hallow my mad brains whither wilt thou go? Fancy. See, ſee, what a buffling now I do behold, How they are juſtling, Evermore turmoy • ing, One another foyling, none do their ſtations hold: One ſits muſing, in a dumpiſh paſſion: Another is for Muſick, mirth, and recreation: Another hangs his head becauſe he's out of faſhion; Hallow my fancy whither wilt thou go. Anſwer. VVas not thy fancy amazed the world to ſee? VVhen thereon thou gazed: Thy wits they fell a running, Ever ſhunning the ſteps of certainty: There will be muſick if thou uſe thy brains man, And thou mayſt have thy labour for their pains man? Of all thy fancies travels, ſhew me now thy gains man: Hallow my mad brains, &c. Fancy. Ships, ſhips, ſhips, I deſcry now paſſing the Main; Ile go and try now, How they are protecting And projecting: when they'l return again? Some go to keep their Country from invading; Some go to Sea for Merchandize and trading: And ſome to take the ayr, (like Summer Cattel ſhading) Hallow my fancy, &c. Anſwer. VVhen thou ſurveyed the Ocean, didſt thou perceive The reaſon of its motion: How it ebbs and floweth, And ſtill moveth, didſt thou the cauſe conceive? Know'ſt thou the mind of every ſhips director: Then thou art fit to be ſome great Projector; I think that of thy wits thou ſcarcely are protector: Hallow thou mad brains, &c. Fancy. Hollow my fancy, hallow again to me: I can no longer follow Long time thou doſt flye me, Still to try me, will it no better be? Come, come away, leave off by lofty ſoaring, Stay till at home and on thy Books be poaring: For they that god abroad have ſtill the leſſe in ſtoring, Welcome my fancy home again to me. Doſt for thy fancy rove now? is ſhe ſo wild: That ſhe'l not endure now, For to keep her ſtanding, At thy commanding, but hath thy hopes beguil'd? Take my advice, and if thou canſt forſake her, Never in thy whimſies, thus thy Goddeſſe make her: But if ſhe do return, for recreation take her: And welcome thy mad brains home, &c.
