ENGLAND's Over-Joy AT THE Duke of Monmouth's Return:

By the Author of ENGLANDS Lamentation for his Departure: Reflecting on his Heroick Actions.

THIS Morn, as in my Bed I sleeping lay,

When busy Dreams led my mind astray:

Methought I on Parnassus top did stand,

Where the Nine Sisters, each with Harp in Hand,

As their grand Master Phoebus did inspire,

Sung Monmouths Welcome to the tuneful Lyre:

And as thy sung, one kinder than the rest,

Breathing a gentle Heat, o'r all my Breast,

Cry'd, Rouze, for shame, and trail thy lasy Pen,

For the Brave Monmouth is return'd agen,

The Valiant Monmouth, to whom this our Isle

Is more oblig'd than Aegypt unto Nile.

With that (for who could such a CALL withstand?)

Unskillfull as I was, I took in hand

My scribling Instrument, Willing to pay

An uncouth Off'ring to this welcome day,

Welcome indeed, when such good News it bears,

As is of Force to banish all our Fears:

What, my dear Britons, to that Angel's due!

Who always has so careful been of you?

As not to let those Daemons of the Land

Destroy and ruin you, but was at hand,

And did with timely diligence remove

The Dangers that hung threatning from above;

And hath dispell'd the CLOUD which threatn'd NIGHT,

Hiding the Glorious Monmouth from your sight:

Monmouth! whom we like Merchants that have lost

Jewels of weighty Value, and great cost,

If ere they find them, doe esteem them more,

Than ever they were wont to do before.

Have you not seen after a cloudy Day,

The rising Sun next Morn appear more gay?

As though he had withdrawn his dimmer Light,

Only to deck himself with Rayes more bright:

So Monmouth to inrich himself withdrew,

That he might come again more dear to you.

Let then your JOYS be great as were your FEARS,

For HE the Noble Monmouth now appears:

Go, Bid him welcom from the Belgick shore,

And consecrate the Yatch that brought him o're;

Let it be Sacred, as DRAKE's famous Boat,

Which round the watry Universe did float;

As sacret as the Ship that brought the Fleece

Of Gold, which Jason stole from Greece:

For none did e're a richer Treasure bring;

Except that ship which brough Great Charles our KING.

Where will speedily be published a Methodical History of the Popish PLOT, demonstrated and illustrated in 52 choice Figures, most of which have on them the Year, Month and Day wherein it was acted; and, a brief Chronology of the growth of Popery: the which Figures are so contriv'd that they will be made up in a Pack of Cards, and wrapt in a printed paper, which will assist the Readers understanding of them: or, they may kept together in one view, in two large sheets of paper, making a Compleat Ornament for a small Almanack, this having only in place of an Almanack, a Journal of the Plot.

There was lately published a large sheet, called Sir Edmund bury Godfrey's Murder made visible; with his Character thereunto: Dedicated to the Earl of Shaftsbury, &c. wherein the several Cruelties of the Papists, in the said Godfreys Murder, are lively represented in a copper plate, which may be had plain, or painted and with Rollers, being a neat Ornament for Gentlemens Houses.

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).
