Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

The little Barly-Corne. Whoſe Properties and Vertues here, Shall plainly to the world appeare: To make you merry all the yeere. To the tune of Stingo.

COme, and doe not muſing ſtand, if thou the truth diſcerne, But take a full cup in thy hand, and thus begin to learne, Not of the earth, nor of the ayre, at euening or at morne, But iouiall boyes your Chriſtmas kéep with the little Barly-Corne. It is the cunningſt Alchymiſt, that ere was in the Land, Twill change your mettle when it liſt, in turning of a hand, Your bluſhing Gold to Siluer wan, your Siluer into Braſſe, Twill turne a Taylor to a man, and a man into an aſle. Twill make a poore man rich to hang a ſigne before his doore, And thoſe that doe the Pitcher bang, though rich twill make them poore; Twill make the ſillieſt pooreſt Snake, the Kings great Porter ſcorne, Twill make the ſtouteſt Lubber weak, this little Barly-Corne. It hath more ſhifts then Lambe ere had, or Hocus Pocus too, It will good fellowes ſhew more ſport, then Bankes his horſe could doe: Twill play you faire aboue the boord, vnleſſe you take good héed, And fell you though you were a Lord, and iuſtifie the deed. It lends more yéeres vnto old age, than ere was lent by nature, It makes the Poets fancy rage, more than Caſtalian water: Twill make a Huntſman chaſe a Fo • , and neuer winde his horne, Twill chéere a Tinker in the ſtockes, this little Barly-Corne. It is the only Will oth'wiſpe, which leades men from the way, Twil make the tongue-ti'd Lawyer liſp and nought but (hie vp) ſay, Twill make the Steward droope & ſtoop, his Bils he then will ſcorne, And at each poſt caſt his reckning vp, this little Barly-Corne. Twill make a man grow iealous ſoone, whoſe pretty Wife goes trim, And raile at the deceiuing Moone, for making hornes at him: Twill make the Maidens trimly dance, and take it in no ſcorne, And helpe them to a friend by chance; this little Barly-Corne. It is the neateſt Seruingman, to entertaine a friend, It will doe more than money can, all iarring ſuits to end: There's life in it, and it is here, 'tis here within this cup, Then take your liquor doe not ſpare, but cleare carouſe it vp.
The ſecond part of the little Barly-Corne, That cheareth the heart both euening and morne. To the ſame Tune.

IF ſickneſſe come, this Phyſick take, it from your heart will ſet it, If feare incroach, take more of it, your heart will ſoone forget it, Apollo and the Muſes nine, doe take it in no ſcorne, There's no ſuch ſtuffe to paſſe the time as the little Barly-Corne. Twill make a wéeping Widdow laugh, and ſoone incline to pleaſure: Twill make an old man leaue his ſtaffe and dance a youthfull meaſure; And though your clothes be nere ſo bad, all ragged, rent, and torne, Againſt the cold you may be clad, with the little Barly-Corne. Twill make a Coward not to ſhrinke, but be as ſtout as may be; Twill make a man that he ſhall thinke, that Ione's as good as my Lady: It will inrich the paleſt face, and with Rubies it adorne, Yet you ſhall thinke it no diſgrace, this little Barly-Corne. Twill make your Goſſips merry, when they their liquour ſee, Hey we ſhall nere be weary, ſwéet Goſſip here's to thee; Twill make the Country Yeoman, the Courtier for to ſcorne, And talke of Law-ſuits ore a Can, with this little Barly-Corne. It makes a man that write cannot, to make you large Indentures, When as he réeleth home at night, vpon the Watch he ventures, He cares not for the Candlelight, that ſhineth in the horne, Yet he will ſtumble the way aright, this little Barly-Corne. Twill make a Mizer prodigall, and ſhew himſelfe kind hearted, Twill make him neuer grieue at all, that from his Coyne hath parted, Twill make the Shepheard to miſtake his Shéepe before a ſtorme: Twill make the Poet to excell, this little Barly-Corne. It will make young Lads to call moſt fréely for their liquor, Twill make a young Laſſe take a fall, and riſe againe the quicker: Twill make a man that he ſhall ſléepe all night profoundly, And make a man what ere he be, goe about his buſineſſe roundly. Thus the Barly-Corne hath power, euen for to change our nature, And make a Shrew within an houre, proue a kind-hearted creature: And therefore here I ſay againe, let no man tak't in ſcorne, That I the vertues doe proclaime, of the little Barly-Corne.
