THE ORGANS ECCHO.

To the Tune of the Cathedrall SERVICE.

1.

MEMENTO MORI,

Ile tell you a strange Story,

Will make you all sorry,

For our old friend William;

Alas, poore William.

2.

As hee was in his Braverie,

And thought to bring us all in slaverie,

The Parliament found out his Knaverie,

And so fell William;

Alas, poore William.

3.

His Pope-like domineering,

And some other Tricks appearing,

Provok'd Sir Edward Deering

To blame the old Prelate;

Alas, poore Prelate.

4.

Some say, hee was in hope

To bring England againe to th' Pope,

But now he is in danger of an Axe or a Rope,

Farewell old Canterbury;

Alas, poore Canterbury.

5.

There's another of the same Litter,

Whose Breech cannot chuse but twitter,

Hee was against all goodnesse so bitter,

'Twas the Bishop of Ely;

Alas, poore Ely.

6.

And all the rest of that Lordly Crew,

Their great Insolencies are like to rue,

As soone as the Parliament their lives do view:

Come downe, brave Prelates;

Alas, poore Prelates.

7.

You know likewise in this two or three yeare,

Many a one for Lamb payd very deare,

But now he begins to stinke for feare;

Therefore take heed Doctor Lamb:

Alas, poore Doctor Lamb.

8.

Then there is also one Doctor Duck,

The Proverb sayes, What's worse then ill luck,

We hope the Parliament his feathers will pluck,

For being so busie, Doctor Duck;

Alas, poore Doctor Duck.

9.

Deanes and Chapters, with their Retinue,

Are not like long for to continue,

They have so abused their great Revenue,

That downe must Ceremonies;

Alas, Popish Ceremonies.

10.

Ecclesiasticall Courts are downe too, they say,

England may be glad of that happie day,

They have of late borne such a great sway,

That farewell those poore Doctors;

Alas, poore Proctors.

11.

And now the Papists are at their wits ends,

To see the downefall of so many Friends;

But they shall all rue it ere the Parliament ends,

Beleeve it, Roman Catholikes;

Alas, poore Catholikes.

12.

There is another that hardly thrives,

Which many men of life deprives,

Hee's now in Newgate for having two Wives:

It is the young Hangman;

Alas, poore Hangman.

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).
