Courage Crowned with Conquest;

OR, [...] brief Relation, how that Valiant Knight, and that Heroick Champion Sir Eglamore bravely sought with, and manfully slew a terrible huge great Monstrous Dragon.

To a pleasant New Tune.

[figure]

SIr Eglamore that valiant Knight

with his fa, la, lanctree down dillie,

He feteht his sword and he went to fight;

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

As he went over hill and dale

All cloathed in his Coat of Male,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

A huge great Dragon leapt out of his Den

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

Which had killed the Lord knows how many men

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

But when he saw Sir Eglamore

Good lack had you seen how this Dragon did roare

with his fa la lanctre. &c.

This Dragon he had a plaguy hide

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

Which could both sword and spear abide

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

He could not enter with hacks and cuts

Which vext the Knight to the very hearts blood and guts,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

All the Trees in the Wood did shake

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

Stars did tremble and men did quake,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

But had you seen how the Birds lay peeping

'Twould have made a mans heart to fall a weeping

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

The second Part,

To the same Tune.

[figure]

BUt it was too late to fear,

with his fa la lanctre. &c,

For now it was come to fight Dog, fight Bare

with his fa la lanctre &c

And as a yawning he did fall

He thrust in his Sword hilt and all,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

But now as the Knight in choler did burn

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

He owed the Dragon a shrew'd good turn

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

In at his mouth the Sword he bent,

The hilt appear'd at his fundament,

with his fa la, &c.

Then the Dragon like a coward began to fly

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

Unto his Den that was hard by

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

And there he laid him down and roar'd

The Knight was vexed for his Sword

with a fa la lanctre, &c.

The Sword that was of a right good Blade;

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

As ever Turk or Spaniard made,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

I for my part do forsake it

And he that will fetch it let him take it

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

When all this was done, to the Alehouse he went

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

And by and by his two pence he spent Dragon

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

For he was so hot with tuging with the

That nothing would quench him but a whole Flagon.

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

Now God preserve our King and Queen,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

And eke in London may be seen,

with his fa la lanctre, &c.

As many Knights and as many more,

And all so good as Sir Eglamore. [...]

with his fa la langtre down dillie.

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).
