ONe Evening in Summer season,

when each Lad walks with his Lass,

In the cool shades which are pleasing,

as by a Grove I did pass,

My wandring fancy contenting,

musing my self all alone,

I heard a youngman lamenting,

making this sorrowful moan.

O cruel Maid! thus to slight me

whom you once loved so dear;

There is nothing can delight me,

since my fate is so sovere,

Iust in the height of my Blessing

to turn my pleasure to pain;

and when I should be possessing,

to ture me with her disdain.

You little Birds that flock hither,

and in this Grove do abide,

Witness how oft she vow'd never

nothing our Hearts should divide:

Yet now her love it is ended,

and I the cause cannot tell,

If I have ever offended,

it was in loving too well.

When I, with sorrow surrounded,

move her to pitty my pain,

The more I sue I am wounded

with the Darts of her disdain:

If that the love of another

makes her deny me relief,

Yet I for ever will love her,

though she's the cause of my grief.

[figure]

O ye kind powers befriend me,

and in her Breast pitty move,

That she some comfort may send me,

since I so constant do prove:

Though she give me a denial,

thus by her unconstancy,

Yet I will ever be loyal,

and her true Lover will dye.

When he had ended this Ditty,

he was about to depart;

Then a young Damosel most pretty

out of a Bush there did start:

Who to the young-man then going,

Let not sad Grief thée annoy:

Thus she said while Tears was flowing

with the Excess of her joy.

Dearest, since I unperceived

heard you your passion express,

And thereby my doubts relieved,

now I the truth will confess:

To try your Love I deny'd you,

which since I find to be true,

I will love no one beside you,

therefore bid Sorrow adieu.

Though I did seem so ungrateful

as your true Love do disdain,

Yet in my heart I was faithful,

and so I still will remain:

Happy is she, my dear jewel,

that such a Lover can find;

Ah! who cou'd ever he cruel

to one so constant and kind?

All the sad grief you indured

was for my sake I do know;

Therefore you may be assured

that I my Heart will bestow

On thee without a denial;

witness ye Powers above,

That I will ever be loyal

and true to thee my dear Love.

Thus with swéet kisses expressing

unto the young-man her mind,

Who wrapt with joy such a Blessing

so unexpected to find,

Gave her a thousand sweet kisses,

both their joys then was compleat.

There is no Maiden but wishes

such a true Lover to meet.

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).
