[figure]

To an excellent new Tune.

THe bonny Gray-ey'd Morn began for to peep

when Jockie rouz'd with Love came blithly on;

And I who wishing lay depriv'd of Sleep,

abhor'd the lazy Hours that flow did run.

But meikle were my Joy's whe [...] in my View

I from the VVindow spy'd my only Dear;

I took the VVings of Love and to him flew,

for I had fancy'd all my Heaven was there.

Upon my Bosom Jockie laid his Head,

and sighing told me pretty Tales of Love

My yielding Heart, at every VVord he said,

did flutter up and down, and strangely move:

He sighing, kiss'd my hand, and vow'd and swore,

that I had o'er his Heart a Conquest gain'd.

Then blushing begg'd, that I would grant him more

which he alas! too soon, too soon obtain'd.

Nor that I do repent, I did comply;

but this I needs must own, my yielding Heart

VVas quickly overcome by Jockie's Eye,

which gave a deeper VVound than Cupids dart,

His Cheeks were Cherry red, his Lips the same,

his Tongue so many Charms could still express:

T [...]at every word he said did raise new Flames,

and kindled, kindled Fire in my Breast.

My Jockie does a thousand VVays beside,

express himself in tender Love to me:

VVith Arms about my VVaste, he sighing cry'd,

oh give me thy Consent or I must die,

Then with a gentle Kiss doth beg again,

that his poor wounded H [...]art I would but cure,

Nor thinking that I felt his Love-sick Pain,

for alas! 'twas his, 'twas his before.

And now! I could no longer hide my Pain,

but let my dearest Jockie know my Heart.

Oh, how he hugg'd me in his Arms again!

and ev'ry Kiss he gave did ease my Smart;

Then vowing o'er and o'er betwixt each Kiss,

he constant would remain while L [...]e did last;

Now tell me Lovers; where's the Hurt of this,

for to enjoy, when that the Knot's ty'd fast?

FINIS.

Creation

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

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).
