A new way of Hunting: Or, the hunting of the wild Boar: Being a compendious Dialogue between two Lovers,

To the Tune of, Draw the Curtaines.

[figure]

FAire Fidelia, tempt no more,

By no meanes I thy person will adore,

Nor offer to thy shrine,

The Gods do me injoyne

To spend my time in hunting of the Bore.

[...]arke, I heare she Huntsman hollow,

To invite

To this fight

Warlike Mars and bright Apollo

The bugle horne do blow,

The Foresters all a row

Are ready prest

And bravely drest

Along with them to goe.

Fair Fidelia take a kisse.

And at my next return be sure of this,

Thou shalt well approve

I do thée dearly love,

Pray pardon at this time what is amisse,

I must leave thée for a space,

Else to chuse

And to lose

A more honourable place,

Farewell Cupid's Court,

Welcome Hunters sport:

Now will I

My fortunes try

here gallants do resort.

Faire Fidelia take this Ring,

Keep it in token of a better thing,

I am parting from thée,

Sweet heart thinke upon me,

Loves conceits do sweet contentments long.

When thou seest me mounted brave

On my Steed,

That indeed

Is the thing that I would have,

Let the wild Boar be ware,

And savage Beare take care,

I make no doubt

To root them out

When I approach them near,

Lusty Rurals of the North

Are now prepar'd and ready to march forth,

Thundering eccho's sounding,

Hills and dales rebdunding

Hounds and huntsmen of couragious [...]

Now the Stars give light again,

Which before

Did adore

And support great Charles his [...]

Since those sports I minde,

I'll not stay behind,

Let day or Night

Be darke or light,

At length I shall them finde.

Her Answer, The second part,

To the same Tune.

[figure]

DEarest Love be not unkind,

To part with me and leave me here behind,

Whilest that thou art wanting,

My heart will break with panting,

Never a minutes comfort shall I finde,

The wild Boar and savage Bear,

I do feare,

Will thée teare

When thou in their sight appeared

If that they do not misse,

Serpents they will hiss,

Then never to me,

But stay at home

And change the other kiss.

In the Forest there are more

That seek thy full, besides the ugly Boar;

There's the stinging Vipers

There's the poysoning Spiders,

There are Nilus Crocodils great store.

There are Dragons whose strong breath

In an hour

Will devoure,

And betray thée unto death:

Rather then do so,

I pray thée do not go:

Stay hear and try

A victory

With me thy friendly foe.

In the stead of Forests strong,

I'le finde a fitter Cops for thée to range;

Hore stands a pleasant Bed,

soft Pillows for thy head,

Where thou and I will swéet encounters change:

Now hunt and do not spare.

Venus game

Is the same

Will redound unto thy share;

Try me as thou wilt,

Prove thy chiefest skill,

Do thou thy best

I'll do the rest

And to be for thee still.

Take thy Ring and Kisse again

For every one thou giv'st i'll give thée ten,

Vse thou no deniall:

Put me to the triall,

Beauteous Maides doth love couragious men,

Gentle Cupid bend thy bow,

Shoot a dart

at his heart,

That the Hunters all may know,

That he is mine by right,

My joy and hearts delight

'Tis better still

With me to bill,

Then with the Boar to fight.

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).
