In Memorie of that Lively Patterne of true Pietie, and unstain'd Loyaltie, Mrs SƲSANNA HARRIS, The Vertuous Wife of Capt. JOHN HARRIS, who dyed the last day of October, 1649.

WIthin this sacred Dust SUSANNA lies

Obscur'd from false-accusing-Elders eies:

Once Independent, as are they that be

The Servants of One-God, and none but He.

A Leveller in Folio, such an one

As Lov'd to Levell an Ʋsurped-Throne

A Royallist besides, (and here is all

The Sable that attends her Funerall.)

For, She her Crown, her Country, and her Mate,

Preferr'd and Fancy'd more then Earthly State.

But now she's gone: 'tis meant her Better-part;

The rest lies here, to Crucifie His Heart

VVho Wounded Hers; Death hath dissolv'd the band

VVhich Life and Love had knit 'twixt heart and hand.

"Happy those Husbands thus in Women blest!

"Thrice happy Wives, which merit such a Test!

Rest Glorious Saint! and may her vertuous life

Last the Choise Embleme of the Rarest Wife:

Untill the Trumpet sound, and bid, Arise,

T'imbrace that Blessed union never dies.

Good Lives and Actions usher us to Blisse,

And not Cull'd Language, or Rich vanities:

So that Vaine Praises were an uselesse sound,

A sprinkling Water upon Holier Ground.

Let such whose ill-spent-Lives have rendred cause

Of just Suspition, leane on fraile Applause,

She needs no Gawdy-Fictions: Nor is't fit

Her Graces be Profan'd in Home-spun-wit.

Since faire SUSANNA in her Garden-Bowrs

VVas not more Pious, or more Chast than Ours.

W. G.

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).
