Valiant Monmouth REVIVED. Or, an account of Young JEMMY's great Victory in his last Engagement with the French.
To an Excellent New French Tune, Sung at the Duke's Play-house.

WHen out of England we did go,

Into Flanders, if you would know,

And in Ostend for to lie,

Because the French were got so nigh.

Fa la, fa la, fa la, fa la.

But when in that Garrison we did lye,

Then on the Straw most pittifully,

Which caused many a brave Souldier to dye.

With a fa la, &c.

At length an order there did come,

That to the French we must be gone,

With Fife and Drum we march along.

Fa la, &c.

But when from Ostend we did march,

With merry looks and chearful Voice,

Against the French that was so strong,

So chearfully we march along,

Fa, la, &c.

But when to Antwerp we came nigh,

Aboard of the Bilinders we did hie,

And there we was forc'd all night to lye.

Fa la, &c.

But when at Brussels we drew near,

We heard the French they had been there,

But that was so strong they could do no good there.

Fa la, &c.

Ten days and more we did them pursue,

Thinking of their Army to take our view,

But they away from us did fly,

Not caring for our Company.

Fa la, &c.

At Charleroy we sound them out,

And there we gave them such a damnable rout,

That they were forc'd to wheel about,

Fa la, &c.

The Duke of Monmouth most Valiantly,

Rode foremost of our whole Army,

And he brought us again where the French did lye.

Fa la, &c.

Saying chear up, my Hearts of Gold,

For in England it ne're shall be told,

That ever our English Boys did fly,

But all resolved for to dye.

Fa la, &c.

Seven hours and more we did them fight,

Till at the last we put them to the flight,

But it was so late that we lost them that night.

Fa la, &c.

Ten thousand French on the ground did lye,

Besides what was wounded mortally:

There we left them to remain

Until we did return again.

Fa la, &c.

But the Dutch most Cowardly,

Behind our Backs all day did lie,

And would not bear up for company.

Fa la, &c.

On the next morning by break of day,

We drew up our selves in Battel aray,

But the Dutch got all the Plunder away,

That the English had fought for all the day.

Fa la, &c.

But the French most cunningly,

All night within a Wood did lie,

And march'd away most privately.

Fa la, &c.

Fifteen Pieces of Ordnance we took that day,

That they against our Bodies did play,

And the Prince of Orange has them to this day.

Fa la, &c.

And now the Holland Wars is done,

Every English man to his own home;

Where we will drink good Ale and Beer,

And with our Friends will keep the New Year.

Fa la, fa la, fa la, fa la, fa la, fa la, fa la.

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).
