OLd Cavaléers

prick up your ears

That have béen Loyal hearted,

unto the King

in every thing

And never from him started;

though many a year

it doth appear

By Rebels you were slighted,

but at the last

when sorrow's past

You now shall bée requited,

You that did fight,

for Charls his Right,

against the new inventions,

The Parliament

doth give consent

That you shall all have Pensions.

The Duke of York

that valiant spark

These words rehearsed rather,

why should not they

receive some pay

That ever lov'd my Father?

as well as those

that were his foes,

And sought the lands confusion:

a cursed thing

they brought their King

Vnto his dissolution:

You that did fight

for Charls his Right,

against the new inventions;

the Parliament

doth give consent

That you shall all have Pensions.

The second part

to the same Tune:

YOur wounds and scars

in Charles his Wars

They shall not be forgotten,

although he's dead,

and buried

And's Royall bones are rotten,

yet now his Heir

sits in the Chair

Of Iudgement Right and Reason,

his Fathers friends

hée'l make a mends

And punish knaves for Treason.

You that did fight, &c.

Such news I hear

you need not fear

Will make you blithe and jolly

't will make you laugh

and merrily quaff

To drink away melancholy,

contented bée

untill you sée

Our Royall King is Married;

you shall be pai'd

be not afraid

Though you long time have tarried,

You that did fight, &c.

A famous Fleet,

with men discreet,

To Portugal is Sailing,

to fetch our Quéen

which will be séen

With happiness prevailing:

her vertues are,

beyond compare

If truth may be believed,

then Cavies all

both great and small

Rejoyce and not be grieved.

You that did fight, &c

On Mid-summer-day

they Lanched away

To fetch that Royall pattern,

Prince Robert hée

the man must bée

That must salute Quéen Kathern:

in Armour bright

a braver sight

Ne're séen in any Nation,

a sword betwéen

him and the Queen

That is all Europe's fashion,

You that did fight, &c.

Both Lords and Knights

for their delights,

Did make such preparation,

to cross the Seas,

their mindes to please,

to see Quéen Katherine's Nation.

a braver show

for truth I know

In Europe can't bee raised,

for solid men

I say agen

Th'ar' worthy to be praised.

You that did fight, &c.

At their return

bone-fires will burn

And English Bells bee ringing.

true Loyal hearts,

throughout all parts

For joy will then be singing,

oth' marriage day,

wee'l dance and play,

In spite of Quakers yauling,

if Vivat Rex

their spirits vex,

wee'l thump them for their bauling,

You that did fight, &c.

Our King God bless,

with happiness,

And every one that loves him,

will firmly stand,

at his command,

As it doth right behove them,

the Clergy men,

with Tongue and Pen,

Confute will every wigeon,

in spite of Spain

they will maintain

True Protestant Religion,

You that did fight

for Charls his right

against these new inven [...]ions,

the Parliament

doth give consent

That you shall all have Pensions.

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).
