Pretty KATE of Edenborough: BEING A New Scotch Song, Sung to the King at WINDSOR.

[...]Just when the young and blooming Spring had melted down the winter Snow,

[...]And in the Grove the Birds did sing their charming Notes on ev'ry Bough:

[...]Poor Willy sate bemoaning his fate, and woful state, for loving, loving, loving,

[...]and despairing too, alas! he'd cry, that I must dye, for pretty Kate of Edenbrough.

[figure]

[figure]

WIlly was late at a Wedding-house,

where Lords and Ladies danc'd all arow,

But Willy none so pretty a Lass,

as bonny Kate of Edenborough;

Her bright eyes, with smiling joys,

did so surprize,

And something, something, something,

else that shot him through:

Thus Willy lies entranc'd in joys,

with pretty Kate of Edenborough.

The God of Love was Willy's Friend

and cast an eye of pity down,

And streight a fatal Dart did send

the cruel Virgins heart to wound:

Now every Dream is all of him,

who still does seem

More lovely, lovely, lovely,

since the Marriage Vow:

Thus Willy lies entranc'd in joys,

with pretty Kate of Edenbrough.

Now Willy thinks his happiness,

all other Creatures do exceed,

His tongue cannot his joys express,

since Kate and he are well agreed:

Both day and night her beauty bright,

is his delight,

And nothing, nothing, nothing,

else can Willy do,

But sound her Fame, and praise the Name

of pretty Kate of Edenbrough.

Cupid with his love doth bless,

granting him his hearts desire,

He doth continually express,

how that his heart is all on fire;

He feels no pains, amidst his Chains,

but still remains

A wounded, wounded, wounded

lover, firm and true;

And all his prate is now of late,

of pretty Kate of Ededbrough.

He swears her eyes are full of charms,

enough to conquer all the World,

Her Smiles secure him from all harms,

her Locks they are so nearly curl'd;

That in his mind he ne'er shall find,

since she proves kind,

A Lover, Lover, Lover.

like his Katy true;

And doth express his happiness,

in pretty Kate of Edenbrough,

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).
