NEWS from the COFFE-HOUSE; In which is shewn their several sorts of Passions, Containing Newes from all our Neighbour Nations.
A POEM.

YOu that delight in Wit and Mirth,

And long to hear such News,

As comes from all Parts of the Earth,

Dutch, Danes, and Turks, and Jews,

I'le send yee to a Rendezvouz,

Where it is smoaking new;

Go hear it at a Coffe-house,

It cannot but be true.

There Battles and Sea-Fights are Fought,

And bloudy Plots display'd;

They know more Things then ere was thought

Or ever was betray'd:

No Money in the Minting-house

Is halfe so Bright and New;

And comming from a Coffe-house,

It cannot but be true.

Before the Navyes fall to Work,

They know who shall be Winner;

They there can tell ye what the Turk

Last Sunday had to Dinner;

Who last did Cut Du Ruitters Corns,

Amongst his jovial Crew;

Or Who first gave the Devil Horns,

which cannot but be true.

A Fisherman did boldly tell,

And strongly did avouch,

He Caught a Shoal of Mackarel,

That Parley'd all in Dutch,

And cry'd out Yaw, yaw, yaw Mynt Here;

But as the Draught they Drew,

They Stunk for fear, that Monck was there,

Which cannot but be true.

Another Swears, by both his Ears,

Mounsieur will cut our Throats;

The French King will a Girdle bring,

Made of Fla [...]-bottom'd Boats,

Shall Compas England round about,

Which must not be a few,

To give our Englishmen the Rout:

This sounds as if, t'were true.

There's nothing done in all the World,

From Monarch to the Mouse

But every Day or Night 'tis hurld

Into the Coffe-house.

What Lillie or what Booker can

By Art, not bring about,

At Coffe-house you'l find a Man,

Can quickly find it out.

They'l tell ye there, what Lady-ware,

Of late is grown too light;

What Wise-man shall from Favour Fall,

What Fool shall be a Knight;

They'l tell ye when our Fayling Trade,

Shall Rise again, and Flourish,

Or when Jack Adams shall be made

Church-Warden of the Parish.

They know who shall in Times to come,

Be either made, or undone,

From great St. Peters-street in Rome,

To Turnbull-street in London;

And likewise tell, at Clerkenwell,

What Whore hath greatest: Gain;

And in that place, what Brazen-face

Doth wear a Golden Chain.

At Sea their Knowledge is so much,

They know all Rocks and Shelves,

They know all Councills of the Dutch,

More then they know Themselves;

Who 'tis shall get the best at last,

They perfectly can shew

At Coffe-house, when they are plac'd,

You'd scarce beleive it true.

They know all that is Good, or Hurt,

To Dam ye, or to Save ye;

There is the Colledge, and the Court,

The Country, Camp, and Navie;

So great a Vniversitie.

I think there ne're was any;

In which you may a Scboolar be

For spending of a Penny.

A Merchants Prentice there shall show

You all and every thing,

What hath been done, and is to do,

'Twix Holland and the King;

What Articles of Peace will bee,

He can precizely show;

What will be good for Them or Wee,

He perfectly doth know.

Here Men do talk of every Thing,

With large and liberal Lungs,

Like Women at a Gossiping,

With double tyre of Tongues;

They'l give a Broad-side presently,

Soon as you are in view,

With Stories that, you'l wonder at,

Which they will swear are true.

The Drinking there of Chockalat,

Can make a Fool a Sophie:

'Tis thought the Turkish Mabomet

Was first Insir'd with Coffe,

By which his Powers did Over-flow

The Land of Palestine:

Then let us to, the Coffe-house go,

'Tis Cheaper farr then Wine.

You shall know there, what Fashons are;

How Perrywiggs are Curl'd;

And for a Penny you shall heare,

All Novells in the World.

Both Old and Young, and Great and Small,

And Rich, and Poore, you'l see:

Therefore let's to the Coffe All,

Come All away with Mee.

Finis.

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).
