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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

To the tune Of the pride of Leiſter Shire. The young mans kinde reply vnto the comfortleſſe Mayde, He grees with his Loue in all ſhee hath ſayd, Shewing to her a part of his minde, That he will be alwayes moſt louing and kinde.

HArke, harke, me thinks I heare one ſpeake what ſhould this Eccho meane? I thinke it be my owne true Loue, my faire and onely Dame: O why ſhouldſt thou, my Philladay, complaine that I am gone, And knoweſt I am the onely man, that loueth thee alone? I am not gone away from thee, my onely hearts delight: But comfort thou ſhalt finde by me, by day and eke by night: My owne ſweet Loue, and Turtle Doue, be not diſturbd in minde: For thou ſhalt finde, I will proue kinde, and neuer change againe. I promiſed thee for to be true, and ſo I will endure, Though I at firſt did proue thy heart, tis good for to be ſure, To proue thy minde, and know thee kinde, for many falſe there be, And ſo mightſt thou, for ought I know, haue proued vnto me. Though I did make a vow to thee, and pawned with thee my heart, Yet thou haſt ſpoken vnto me, as though thou would'ſt depart: But now I find thee true and kinde, and I the like will be: Whilſt death doth part, my tender heart, I will not part with thee; All you kind hearts that haue true loues, by me example take: And haue a care, whereto you ſwears for the Almighties ſake: Doe not goo on as I haue done, to breed a Maydens ſmart: But turne in time, in heart and minde, and eaſe your true Loues heart. Would God I ne'r had wrong'd my Loue, nor beene to her vnkinde: Then ſhould ſhe haue no cauſe to mourne, nor be diſturbd in minde: But being it's ſo, I well doe know, I muſt vnto her goe: And ſpeake my minde, in louing kinde, and eaſe her of her woe. Come, come, ſweet heart, doe not repent, nor wraſtle in deſpaire, Though I to thee haue beene vnkind, Ile eaſe thee of thy care: For I will proue conſtant in loue, as alwayes thou ſhalt finde, I will be true, not change for new, but alwayes will be kinde. Come, Loue, let's ſpeake no more of this, but faithfully let's ioyne: And looke before what was amiſſe, I meane for to amend: Come let vs now, performe our vow, and make no more adoe: But let vs ioyne in heart and minde, and ſo to Church let's goe. And ſo theſe Louers made an end, of theſe their former words: One loued the other heartily, not breeding no diſcords: In peace I pray long liue they may, and all true Louers elſe: What ere they 〈◊◊〉 what degrée, ſo much is ſpoke of mee.
FINIS.
