Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

CHéer up your hearts, and be not afraid, all you that faithful ſerved the King, What though you long have bin dismayd, good news I now intend to bring: Let ſorrows depart, And chéer up your heart, and think not on your troubles paſt: Lets pray for the King, And merrily ſing, long lookt for may now come at laſt. The firſt good news I ſhall unfold, I'm ſure 'twill make you all full glad, 'Tis news of money I am told, I hope it will not make you mad, The old Cavaliers, Shall have their arrears, and ſome content for their ſervice paſt. This is truth I declare, Then do not dispair, long lookt for now will come at laſt. Your ſufferings long hath bin tis known, aſham'd I am for to expreſſe, Some part already hath bin ſhown, and yet no comfort nor redreſſe, But now coms the time, Then do not repine, for long you have not to endure: Such want and poverty, For your Faith and Loyalty, long lookt for now will come be ſure. In every County of the Land, Commiſſioners will fit be ſure, To hear and for to underſtand, what hands each Souldier can procure, And if they have bin, True to the King, and for him ſtood ſtill firm and faſt, Then to their deſerts, They ſhall have thier parts, long lookt for then will come at laſt. But let no turn-coats then appear, for if they do 'twill be in vain, Nor no diſſembling Cavalier, they muſt be frée from any ſtain, For if they be found, They once turned round, Then all their time they'l ſpend in waſt, None muſt appear, Then for Cavalier but he that ſtood for the King to the laſt.
The ſecond part, to the ſame Tune.

MOre news I have to tell you here, I hope 'twill give you all content, Our Royal Quéen they ſay is néer, upon the Seas ſhe now is bent, Her flée 's under Sail, With a brave gallant gale, God ſend them a fair and pleſant blaſt, And ſafe with the King, That we may all ſing long lookt for now 'tis come at laſt. The King with all his Noble train, prepared is to goe likewiſe, In Royal pomp to entertain. his Conſort, and to ſolemnize, That happy day, Where in we may, With voices loud be heard and ſéen, With one accord. Crabe all of the Lord, to bleſſe our gracious King and Queen. A happy moneth of May we had, when as our King to London came, It made all faithful ſubjects glad, I hope this will produce the ſame: There is no fear, But this happy year, will make amends for many paſt Content let us be, And then we ſhall ſée, long lookt for now will come at laſt. For to conclude and end my ſong, ſome things I do deſire to ſée, In it I ſhall do none no wrong, who faithful to the King will be, That all may agrée, In Love and Vnity, To forgive and forget all that is paſt, Next that we might, Every one have his right, long lookt for then would come at laſt. That Cavaliers may all be paid, and Traytors too have their deſert, That have the Kingdom to decayd, I think there's few will take their part, I mean none but thoſe, That yet are our foes, and longs to ſée this Kingdom waſt: But let them beware, Of the Hangmans ſnare. long lookt for then may come at laſt, FINIS.
