MY fairest my dearest

i've heard what thou'st told

I vallue thy words more

thou Silver or Gold,

Matter not for Riches

for thou shalt have store,

If thou wilt go with thy Love

all the world o're.

As thou dost forsake Father

and Mother beside,

I'le make as much on thee

what ever betide,

Thou shalt be my Comrade

on Sea or on Shore,

Then come and go with &c.

Though we travel to Rome Love

to France or to Spain,

Yet do not you fear

but we shall turn again,

I'le secure thee from the Tyger

the Wolf and the Bore,

Then come, &c.

As thou art so constant

and stedfast in mind,

As faithful a friend

thou ever shalt find,

Then assure thy self

i'le wrong thee on no score,

Then come, &c.

ANd if thou goest with me

i'le promise thee fair,

Instead of one boy Love

i'le get thée a pair,

I'le hug thée and kiss thée

thy joys to restore,

Then come and go with thy Love

all the world o're.

Though Sir Guy and St. George

did venture their lives,

Ile do as much for thee

as they did for their wives,

Ile be thy Champion

against thousands and more,

Then come, &c.

He that séeks for to wrong thee

i'le venture my Life,

And you'l say a man can do

no more for a VVife,

But fight for a Sweet-heart

in battles so sore,

Then, &c.

Hang him from his dearest

will once stir or flinch,

Or hang him if he loves her

won't fight for a VVench,

Then give us more liquor

though we run on the score,

And come &c.

I'le show thee what fashions

Europe can devise,

It may be by our travel

we to fortune may rise,

Thou know'st not what blessings

the Lord hath in store,

Then come &c.

For to stay at home Love

and sit by the fire,

Theres no recreation

unto thy desire.

Then lets to the fair Love

where musick is store,

Then, &c.

Love never be daunted

nor yet do not fear,

But I will be faithful

unto thée my Dear,

No tongue nor yet beauty

shall thy fame adore,

Then, &c.

He that wou'd wrong thée

is worse then a jew,

And he is a Knave

that will not prove true,

Such doings I hate

and shall love thee the more,

Then; &c.

Though I don't praise thy feature

as thou hast done mine,

Yet i'le stick as close to thée

as the Bark to the Vine,

Therefore do not tarry

but bar up the door,

Then, &c.

And thus my own dearest

i've told thee my mind,

And nothing but truth

thou by me shalt find,

Then take this kiss

for i'le now say no more

But come and go with thy Love

all the world o're.

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).
