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

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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

Groans from New-Gate OR AN ELEGY On the ſuſpention of the Famous Thief Thomas Sadler, Fifteen times Student in that Renowned Colledge, who to the great Regret of all his Aſſotiates, was Tranſlated to Tyburn, March, 16th. 1677. ILLuſtrious Muſe! on thee we Call, That doſt inſpire at Pulchers Wall; The pious Tinkler with an Art, To ſtop with Ghoſtly Rhymes the Cart. And with his Saints Bell full of greif, Ring-out the Knell of paſſing Theif. Whilſt buſſling Crow'd for pitty ſobbs, And divers Geld unguarded Fobbs. Aſſiſt us now with doleful Glee, T' Antipadize an Elegy. And let each drop that dares to run From wetſhod Eyes, fill thrice three Tun; That ſo we may with Mickle Tears, (As he in Brandy) drown our Fears; Who does not here how every ſtone In New-Gate cries, oh Hone, oh Hone. And every tender hearted Louſe Belonging to that Manſion-Houſe, Does ſtrive in ſable Robes to Crawl, Cloſe Mourners to his Funeral. When Princeſs German made her Hubbubs, And drew the whole Town to the Suburbs; When brisk Duval, that French Latroon Receiv'd reward of Pickaroon, And put poor Ladies in a ſwoon; Rhymeſters their Gooſe-quills did Imploy As faſt, as Clerks in Chancery; And ſhall Sadler, Mercuries Crony, Be hang'd like Curr, Sans Ceremony, 'Tis baſe,—and if wit's to be had for mony If Ballad men will venture on't, Or people Buy, when we have don't; VVee'l Sing his Name in Loftier droll Than Latine Pagan did Old Noll; He was Protector too o'th Crew, Domeſtick Caſtles to Subdue; And by the aid of Truſty Betty, Could force each Door, VVindow, and Jetty; VVith dexetrous Crown could ſpring a mine, And Pick-lock Engines ſo deſigne; Like ſecond Hannibal they ſay, He alwaies found or made a way. His Conduct of ſo brave a flight, Taught the Wild Arabs of the night; Intrigues they never would believe, Or wanted wit how to Atcheive. Bilking more Plate, If fame truth ſaith, Than the old Gilt call'd publick faith. And then for to compleat his Race, VVel-hop'd, as Badges of's high place To bear away both Purſe and Mace.
EPITAPH. From making Bricks and moulding Clay, To Break up VValls I found a way; Long-tyme I thriv'd, till by miſhap, Atropos caught me in a Trap. But that's no ſtrange or wonderous thing, I always lov'd to have my Swing. Let this ſad Tomb adviſe my friends, Ill Lives muſt ſtill expect Ill ends.
FINIS.
