SIstite Lectores, properantes sistite Gressus;

SELDENI lachrymis Busta rigate novis.

SELDENUS! sine fine suis memorandus amicis;

Pauperis hospitium, divitibúsque Comes:

SELDENUS! passim literarum maximus Atlas;

SELDENUS! Britici magnus Apollo Poli.

Ille! Vetustatum Delphos venerabilis; Ille!

Linguarum Dominus, Judiciique Pater;

Ille! volumineus librorum Gurges, & Ingens

Jurorum; geminae Summáque tota Togae.

Ille! Tridentiferi qui clausit Regna Tyranni,

Et Briticas itidem clave reclusit aquas.

Ille dies! nostrique Jubar mir abile secli!

Ille dolor Patriae, deliciaeque suae

Clauditur hoc tumulo; Cui vix Europa sepulchrum

Sufficit, aut tantas continet orbis opes:

Qui cecidit Terris, cum celso ut Sole resurgens

Fulgeat ętheriae Stella corusca plagae.

STay Readers, stay! a little while to steep

Your souls in sorrows, & ore SELDEN weep.

SELDEN! to be remembred without end;

The Poormans comfort, & the Richmans friend;

SELDEN! great Learnings Atlas, far and neare;

SELDEN! the Apollo of our British sphere;

Grand Oracle of Antiquity! th'Immense

Master of Language, and profounder Sense!

Gulf of unfathom'd Reading, total Summe

Of all our Laws, both extant, or to come; (keys

Who curb'd great Neptunes Trident, and with

Of Law, both lockt up, and unlockt the Seas;

The Luminary of this Age; great Britains chief

Mirror; being late her Glory, now her Grief

Lies crowded in this narrow Vault; to whom

Europe, nor scarce the World could be a Tomb:

Who Stellified above, hath left us here

Below, being set with Sol, to rise more clear.

G. D.

Creation

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

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).
