ARt thou so loyal to thy Love,

then i'le the like of kindness show:

There's no one that I prize above

my young and lively Willy O.

'Tis VVilly, VVilly, VVilly O,

the love I bear to Willy O,

All the world shall never know

the love I bear to Willy O.

If I might have Lord, Duke, or Earl,

and in rich Silks and Sattens go,

Likewise adorn'd with Orient Pearl,

I'd leave it all for VVilly O.

'Tis Willy, Willy, Willy O,

the love I bear to Willy O,

All the world shall never know

the love I bear to Willy O.

If to my Father you should ride.

and he should chance to answer no,

Yet I will yield to be the Bride

of thee my Loyal Willy O.

'Tis Willy, Willy, Willy O,

the love I bear to Willy O,

All the world shall never know

the love I bear to Willy O.

My Dearest, I have House and Land,

a curious Lamb and breeding Yow;

VVith these i'le give both heart and hand

to thee my loving Willy O.

'Tis Willy, Willy, Willy O,

the love I bear to Willy O,

All the world shall never know

the love I bear to Willy O.

To thee I never will be coy,

behold, mine Eyes like Fountains flow;

'Tis with the extasie of Ioy,

in meeting with my Willy O.

'Tis Willy, &c.

In Cards and Dice some takes delight

until it proves their overthrow;

Put thou in Nannys beauty bright

who is in love with Willy O.

Tis Willy, &c.

If thou comest to me soon or late,

my love and loyalty i'le show;

A boy or man shall alwaies wait

on thee my true-Love Willy O.

'Tis Willy, &c.

My dear, that day that we are wed

we will invite all, high and low,

Then i'le afford my Maiden-head

to thee my True-Love VVilly O.

'Tis Willy, &c.

Against that day a fine Lac'd Band

upon my Love I will bestow;

There's no young man in Cumberland

that can compare with VVilly O.

'Tis Willy, &c.

My Love, we'l make no long delay,

but to the Kirk with speed we'l go;

Upon the next high Holiday,

where we'l be married, VVilly O.

'Tis Willy, Willy, Willy O,

the love I bear to Willy O,

All the world shall never know

the Love I bear to Willy O.

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).
