Now farewel dear Father

and Mother also,

[...] blessing

[...] Shore,

For I will [...] with my Love

all the world o're.

But I hope my dear Daughter

you'l not be such a one,

A [...] to go and forsake us

and leave us alone,

Now we have brought you up

and by you sit great store

Now you will go with your Love &c.

But let reason rule you

at home for to stay,

And go not such a journey

lea [...]t you loose your way

Thou'st have all when we dye

what wouldst thou have more,

If thou't not go with thy Love, &c.

I vallue not your [...]iches

nor your brave [...],

[...]o I have but the [...]n

whom my heart [...],

Theres no Locks nor Bolts

shall kéep me in a door,

But I, &c.

FOr his sight and his presence

is dearer to me,

Then all the rich Treasures

i'th world I can sée,

In my arms i'le imbrace him

his joys to restore,

And I will go with my Love

all the world o're.

For what joy or what comfort

has any young Girl,

Though she wears rich jewels

of Gold or yet Pearl,

If her Sweet-heart be wanting

her heart will be sore,

So I, &c.

Does not Ladies of Honor

a man much regard,

And shall I for his kindness

with disdain him reward,

No first i'le be hanged

upon the next door,

For I, &c.

Oh did not fair Phillis

that Lady so bright,

Vnknown at her Gate

fed her Husband and Knight,

And at his death she

grieved full sore,

So I, &c.

Then why may not I

be as true to my friend,

As ever was Phillis

unto my Lives end,

There's no inchanting tongue

shall win me on no score,

But I, &c.

He may be in danger

or sick he may lye,

And for want of my company

there he may dye,

But i'le be his Surgeon

for to cure his sore,

And I, &c.

All that I can do for him

the truth for to tell,

Nothing shall be wanting

my Love to maintain,

I'le run through fire and Water

or though the déep sore,

But I, &c.

His behavior and favor

and so civil in's ways,

That whoever sées him

they give him the praise,

Which makes me so much

his fame to implore,

And for to go with, &c.

He's no Ranter nor Swearer

nor Drunkard at all.

Yet he'l laugh and be merry

yet modest withall,

He's courteous and humble

to'th Rich and to Poor,

Which makes me go with, &c.

And thus have I told to

young Maids in some part,

The conditions of him

whom I love as my heart

But pray don't long for him

nor yet cry nor [...]re,

For I will go with my 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).
