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).

Coll. SIDNEY'S Lamentation and Laſt Farewel to the World. Being Condemn'd for High-Treaſon, in Conſpiring the Death of His Sacred Majeſty, and Royal Brother. 〈♫〉 NOw, now too weak, alas! I find our Cauſe, To'th over-ruling Powers the King & Laws The force of our Impregnant Torrent's turn'd, The Plots and Shams of our Inventions ſcorn'd: Now I do fear what I could ne'r believe, Some Powers above doth all our Wits deceive; And laughs at our Aſſoſiatious Vow, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? II. Theſe Forty Years I've Reign'd in Roguery, With kind ſucceſs, 'gainſt Lawful Monarchy; And now muſt my gray Head be over-reacht, And my ſtiff Neck by ſtrength of halter ſtretcht In the beginning Friends, it was not ſo, In Forty-One, now Forty Years ago; I fear'd not then no God, nor King, nor Law, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? III. On the late King I ſat as Judge moſt ſtout, By vertue of our Senate, Rump, and Rout; Saw him condemn'd and Murder'd at White-hall His Sacred Blood doth now for Vengeance call: With his own Gold I did Command and fight, Againſt his Son, and all Succeſſive Right; And ne'r repented yet, nor can I bow, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? IV. This King return'd, which I with arms perſu'd With Tony I for Pardon did intrude; What e're we askt his Grace did freely grant, Preferment too, which his beſt friends did want My pride in oppoſition ſtill did ſhew, A crooked Plant will never ſtraighter grow; And now too late I grieve all wou'd not do, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? V. With Tony, Gray, and Ruſſel, I Conſpir'd My Princes death, and many thouſands hyr'd To Arm themſelves in ev'ry Town and Shire, To Murther both this King and Lawful Heir, And lay it all upon the Papiſts backs, Which with the weight of our own Treaſon cracks; And for our Crimes, to murther them allow, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? VI. We draw'd in M—h to advance the Cauſe And made him Populer by Fools Applauſe; We made his Soul ſwell big to be a King, When we alas! intended no ſuch thing: Now all's Unravel'd, both Cabals and Plot, My poor old Head muſt hang & go to'th Pot; Zounds I'de ſtill Rebell did I know how, Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? VII. At Oxford we were Rampant, over-fed, The Tayl was ten times ſtronger than the Head; Yet quite out-witted by too kind a King, Then we to Rumbolds Houſe our Arms did bring Yet all was ſtill prevented by ſtrange Fate, Had I with Tony made a ſafe Retreat, Then Ketch had ne'r held up my Trayterous jaw Poor Traytors! where's our Ignoramus now? FINIS.
