AN ELOGIE On the Deplorable Death of the Right Honourable Margaret Countess of Rothes. Who Departed this Life the 22d. August 1700.

Now the most Fragrant Flower of Femal Kvnde,

In this our Age, falls, scarce is left behind,

Or may her Parallel for Pietie,

Pregnant Patience, and Christian Charitie:

Her Noble Actions made her Virtues known,

And to Posterity they ought to be shown,

For Pietie and Charitie always did

Attend each Motion of her Sp'rit which hid,

Cou'd no ways be, when those who timely were

Objects of Charity apply'd to her,

The Widdows Reli [...]ff, and the Orphans stay.

To the Disc [...]n [...]olat she was alway

A timely support; So that her Worth and Fame,

Throughout all Ages her. Vertues shall proclaime.

A tender Mother, and a Loveing Wife;

Yea truely Chest in every step of Life,

Inclynd to Vertue in all things that might tend

To the Advantage of her dearest Freind,

Constant Affection, Inviolable Love,

Did to her Noble Consort allways prove,

Her Chastity to him to be sincere

Dureing her Weddlock Bonds, and since they were,

Dissolv'd by Death to're Noble Off-spring she,

And others of her Sex for pietie;

And Vertue hath allways a Matron been,

That non her to Excell was ever seen:

For as she was most Noble by her Birth:

So farr more Noble was she for her worth;

That all who know her Actions must Confess:

No Tongue or pen is able to Express,

The great Renown the memory of her Name,

Doth still Deserve, for Everlasting Fame,

Shall it Proclaim to Future Ages, That

Posterities her praise may Celebrate.

From time to time, while time doth Remain,

Untill the World dissolve, and her Soul come again.

Which is ascended I presume to Rest.

Into Eternall joyes, with those are blest;

For Pietie and Vertue did attend,

All the actions of her Life unto the End.

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).
