The Loyall Subjects Jubilee, or Cromwels Farewell to England, being a Poem on his advancing to Ireland, July the 11. 1649.

TIs high contempt not for to Fast and pray,

And hold as blest Saint Cromwels Holy day,

The Devils a Saint, if he deserves to be

One for his Machivillian Treacherie.

Insatiate Monster, that doth swallow downe

At once a Kingdome and a glorious Crowne,

Whose splendor dazled Mortalls while it stood

On Charles his head, but dim'd since dipt in blood

May every stone that did adorne it round,

As witnesses against thee once be found,

And weigh thee down to Hell, thou horrid fel lion,

To have reward for this thy grand Rebellion.

But first thy progresse into Ireland take,

And see what preparations they will make,

(To entertaine thee) for that end a day

Weel set apart, and for thee this we'l pray;

Come yee grim Furies of the Stigian Lake,

With hideous cryes, and make the welking shake,

Rouze Charon up, winds, Seas, and all implore,

To waft this Rebell to the Irish shore,

Where such a Feast prepar'd for him shall be,

The like at Grocers-Hall he ne're did see:

Ormond chief Cook will be to please his pallet,

And send a fiery Bullet for a Sallet,

Which shall such terrour to his Saintship bring,

And make him cry, would he had spar'd our King;

The blood methinks doth startle in his face,

That he no rest can take in any place,

His Exits come, Ireland the Stage must be,

Where he must act his latest Tragedie,

Where he his life shall spend in discontent,

And bid farewell to Englands Parliament.

May thy horses founder, thy Souldiers weary grow

Upon their march they can no further goe,

Or if march on upon the Irish sight,

Take to their heeles, and finely give thee flight,

And may this noise of their most eager running,

Still make thee think that Charles the II comming

To claime his due with a victorious hand,

And purge all Rebels from his English Land.

May the day look black, and soon convert to night,

Onely thy ruby Nose to give thee light;

And that thou mayst to shipping safely get,

Hell for thy life-guard shall the Furies set,

Charon thy Ferry-man shall be, and once being ore,

Mayst thou nere come to vex the English shore.

Finis.

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).
