Loves Lamentable Tragedy

When true Lovers prove unkind,

great sorrows they procure,

And such strange pains the slighted find,

that they cannot endure.

[figure]

[figure]

[...] TEnder hearts of London City,

[...] now be mov'd with grief and pitty,

[...] since by Lov [...] I am undone;

[...] Now I languish in mine anguish,

[...] too too soon my heart was won.

By him I am strangely slighted,

In whom I so long delighted,

he unkindly shews disdain,

And my grief is past relief,

alas! my heart will break with pain.

Damon you my passion knew well,

How then could you be so cruel?

first my heart to set on fire;

[...]

[...]

Come and see me as I'm lying,

Bleeding for your sake and dying,

yet my Ghost shall trouble you;

When I depart with, broken heart,

then all your comforts bid adieu.

Thou shalt never be contented,

But by night and day tormented,

since thou wert so false to me:

Celia dying, thus lay crying,

[...]

Down her Cheeks the tears did trickle,

Blaming Damon too too fickle;

till her tender heart was broke;

Discontented, thus she fainted,

yielding to Death's fatal stroke.

When this news to him was carried,

All his joys were spoyl'd and marred,

and his heart was fill'd with pain;

Still expressing, what a blessing,

he had lost by his disdain,

The Young-man's Answer.

Oh! ye powers be kind unto me,

Else my sorrows will undo me,

I am so perplext in mind;

I deny'd her, and defy'd her,

that was loving, chaste and kind.

Now methinks I'm strangely daunted

By her Ghost I shall be haunted,

wheresoever I do go,

I shall see her, mine own dear.

Since I wrought her overthrow,

Thus he pausing stood, and thinking

Looking as if he were sinking,

while his countenance grew pale,

Death come ease me, quickly seize me,

for methinks my Spirits fail.

In his conscience he was wounded,

And his senses were confounded,

tears ran trickling from his Eye;

But his sorrow, pierc'd him thorow,

then he vow'd for love to dye.

Then his joynts began to shiver,

Straight he walks into the River,

there to build his watry Tomb,

Often crying, and replying,

Celia now I come, I come.

Loves Lamentable Tragedy,

When true Lovers prove unkind,

Great sorrows they procure,

And such strange pains the slighted find,

that they cannot endure.

To a pleasant new Play-house Tune,

Tender hearts of London City,

Now be mov'd with grief and pitty,

since by love I am undone:

Now I languish in mine angish,

too too soon my heart was won.

By him I am strangely slighted,

In whom I so long delighted,

he unkindly shews disdain,

And my grief is past relief,

alas! my heart will break with pain.

Damon you my passion knew well,

How then could you be so cruel?

first my heart to set on fire;

Then to leave me, and deceive me,

when I granted your desire,

Come and see me as I'm lying,

Bleeding for your sake and dying,

yet my Ghost shall trouble you;

When I depart with, broken heart,

then all your Comforts bid adieu.

Thou shalt never be contented,

But by night and day tormented,

since thou wert so false to me:

Celia dying, thus lay crying,

I will be a plague to thee.

Down her Cheeks the tears did trickle,

Blaming Damon too too fickle;

till her tender heart was broke;

Discontented, thus she fainted,

yielding to Death's fatal stroke.

When this news to him was carried,

All his joys were spoill'd and marred,

and his heart was fill'd with pain;

Still expressing, what a blessing,

he had lost by his disdain,

The Young-man's Answer.

OH! ye powers be kind unto me,

Else my sorrows will undo me,

I am so perplext in mind;

I deny'd her, and defy'd her,

that was loving, chast and kind.

Now methinks I'm strangely daunted

By her Ghost I shal be haunted,

wheresoever I do go,

I shal see her, mine own dear.

Since I wrought her overthrow,

Thus he pausing stood, and thinking

Looking as if he were sinking,

while his countenance grew pale,

Death come ease me, quickly seize me,

for methinks my Spirits fail.

In his Conscience he was wounded,

And his Senses were confounded,

tears ran trickling from his Eye:

But his sorrow, pierc'd him thorow,

then he vow'd for love to dye.

Then his ioynts began to shiver,

Straight he walks into the River,

there to build his watry Tomb,

Often cryng, and replying,

Celia now I come, I come.

FINIS.

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).
