The CALL to the RACES At New-Market.

To the Tune of, To Horse, Brave Boys.

Licensed according to Order.

I.

TO Horse brave boys to New-Market to horse,

you'l lose the Match by longer delaying,

The Gelding just now was led over the Coast,

I think the Devils in you for staying,

Run and endeavour to bubble the sporters,

Bets may be recover'd lost at the Groom-Porters;

follow, follow, follow, led down by the ditch,

Then take the Odds, and then you'l be rich,

For I will have Brown-Bay if Blew-Bonnet Ride,

I'll hold a Thousand pound on his side Sir,

Dragon could scower it, but Dragon is old,

He cannot endure it, he cannot he will not,

now run it as lately he could,

Age, age hath hindr'd his speed Sir,

Now, now, now see they come on,

see, see, the Horse leads the way,

Full three lengths before at the turn of the land,

Five Hundred pound upon the Brown-Bay,

But a Pox of the Devil I fear we have lost,

The Dog the Blew-Bonnet, has run it,

(a Murrain light on it)

the wrong side the Post,

Odds-Bobs was ever such fortune.

II.

Make hast, make hast, to New-Market away,

you idly leave your sport by delaying,

The Race will be run e'er the heat of the day,

we shall loose all our betts by our staying,

Run, Run, and freely your Guineas now venter

Upon the Brisk Brown-Bay, when e'er she do'sentor

Follow, Follow, follow on this side the Ditch,

And take most odds if you will be rich,

As for me i'll have Sorrel, if Blew-Bonnet ride,

And lay you fifty pound on his side, Sir,

Sorrel runs swiftest since Dragons grown old,

You'll find by and by that he cannot endure it,

nor run it as lately he could

Years, Years doth hinder his speed, Sir,

Now, now, now see they come on,

see Sorrel still leads the way,

A full furlong before at the Turn of the land,

Five Hundred pound 'tis that gets the Day.

But fie on that Jockey, I fear I have lost.

With ease he had won it, had won it, if he had but run it,

On this side the Post,

No Man had ever such fortune.

III.

To Horse, we must not of Fortune complain,

nor loose our time in Jockeys dispraising,

The Geldings are galloping over the plain,

while we stand idle prating and gazing,

Run and attempt to retrive all our losses,

And never stand railing at fortune and crosses,

Follow, Follow, follow, I'll lead on this side,

And see if I can once be a guide,

'Tis the Brown-Bay I fancy she trouls it apace,

I'll hold an hundred on the Race, Sir,

Dragon does scour it, but Brown-Bay's before,

And holds it, and holds it, and wins it and wins it

He runs it, so merrily o'er,

I'll hold you now five hundred pound more.

But now were undone and our Guineas are lost,

The Rogue the Blew-Bonnet, ha run it,

(a Vengeance light on it)

the wrong side the post,

I never had such ill fortune.

FINIS.

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).
