VANITY OF VANITIES OR SIR HARRY VANE'S PICTURE.

To the Tune of the JEWS Corant.

HAve you not seen a Barthol'mew Baby

A Pageant of policy as fine as may be,

That's gone to be Shown at the Mannor of Raby,

Which no body can deny.

There was never such a prostitute Sight,

That e're profan'd this purer Light,

A Hocus Pocus jugling Knight,

Which no body can deny.

He was taken for a Delphick Tripus,

Another doubt-solving Oedipus,

But the Parliament made him a very Quibus,

Which no body, &c.

His cunning State tricks and Oracles,

His lying wonders and Miracles,

Are turned into Parliament Shackles,

Which no body, &c.

Goodly great Sir Onesimus VANE,

The Annointed King of Saints not Reign?

I see all Godlinesse is not Gain,

Whhno od y, &c.

John a Leyden that Munsters Jing,

Was a Fool and an Asse to this pretty Thing,

But the Parliament hated the name of a King,

Which no body, &c.

This holy Saint hath pray'd till he wept,

Prophesied and Divin'd while he slept,

But fell in a T— when aside he stept,

Which no body, &c.

He sate late in the House so discontent,

With his Arms folded and his Brows bent,

Like Achitophel to the Parliament,

Which no body, &c.

He durst not speak of a Concubine,

Nor gave more Councel to any Design,

But was musing on a Hempen Line,

Which no body, &c.

He see Mr. Prin take a great deal of Pain,

To get in with the rest as Members Again,

But they were Voted as use-lesse as VANE,

Which no body, &c.

They gave him a Conge with such a Vote;

'Twas thought they had learned it by Rote,

Ever since he went down to Graves-end by Bote,

Which no body, &c.

For all his Ceremonious Cringing,

He shall undergo a notable Swindging,

There is now no more need of his Engine,

VVhich no body, &c.

When first the English War began,

His Father was a Court Trepan,

And 'rose to be a Parliament Man,

VVhich no body, &c.

So from the Father came unto the Son,

Whom Wo and Mis'ry now do wait upon,

For Counselling Protector John,

VVhich no body, &c.

A Gemini they were, Pollux and Castor,

One was a Teacher the other a Pastor,

And both like R— betrayed their Master,

VVhich no body, &c.

The Devil ne're see such two Sir Harry's,

Such a pest'lent pair nor neer nor far is,

No not at the Jesuits Sorbon of Paris,

VVhich no body, &c.

They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat,

They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Twat,

For turning in pan there was ne're such a Cat,

VVhich no body, &c.

His dainty project of a Select Senate,

Is Damned for a blasphemous Tenet,

T'was found in the budget ('tis said) of Monk Bennet,

VVhich no body, &c.

Of this State and Kingdoms he is the Bane,

He shall have the reward of Judas and Cain,

And 'twas he that overthrew Charls his Wain,

VVhich no body, &c.

Should he sit where he did with his Mischievous brain,

Or if any his Councels behind do remain,

The house may be called the Labour in Vain,

VVhich no body can deny.

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).
