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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

Loves fierce deſire, and hopes of Recovery. Or, A true and brief Deſcription of two Reſolved Lovers; whoſe Excellent wits, ſutable minds, and faithful hearts one to another, ſhall heedfully be ſpoken of in this following new made paper of Verſes. To a delightful new tune, Or, Fair Angel ofEngland.

NOw the Tyrant hath ſtolen my deareſt away; And I am confined with Mopſa to ſtay: Yet let Celia remember how faithful i'le be, Neither diſtance nor abſence ſhall terrifie me. In Volumns of ſighs, I will ſend to my Dear, And make my own heart correſpond to my fear: Till the Soul of my life may be pleaſed to ſee, How delightful her ſafeſt return is to me. It cheers my ſad heart to remember her love, Though malice hath cauſed this ſudden remove: And my mind is reſolved what ever enſue, Whether Sunſhine or thunder, to be conſtant and true. If my Bark ſail but ſafely through this rugged Sea, Though with contrary Wind, much toſſed it be: In the Haven of reſt, and long lookt for content, I'le chaunt forth melodious Songs of merriment. Till then i'le retreat to the Forreſt and mourn; Acteon ſhall eccho my Hound and my Horn. No Reynard ſhall eſcape me that runs on the way, But patience perforce I will make him to ſtay. My heart hath enquired of every Stone, What convoy the Heavens hath bequeath'd to my moan: But for ought I can find, holy Angels are agreed, To rival my hopes, and to ſlacken her ſpeed.

Therefore i'le ſit down, and bewail my ſad Fate, Like the Turtle i'le mourn for the loſs of my mate: All the worlds greateſt glories vexation to me, Till my Celia and I, in our loves may be free. Celia her ſweet Reply to her faithful friend. Thy ſpeeches dear friend I have well underſtood, And how in exile thou haſt wandred at the wood But I am reſolved thy ſorrows to free, To make thee amends, i'le ſoon come unto thee. 'Tis neither the Tyger, the Wolf, nor the Bear, Nor ſhall Nylus Crocodile put me in fear: I'le ſwim through the Ocean upon my bare Breaſt, To find out my Darling, whom I do love beſt. And when I have found him, with double delight, I'le comfort him kindly by day and by night: And i'le be more faithful then the Turtle-Dove, Which never at all did prove falſe to her Love. The fierce Baſilisks that kills with the eye, Shall not have the power once thee to come nigh: I'le clip thee and hug thee ſo cloſe in my arms, And i'le venture my life for to ſave thee from harms. My Lap for thy head love, a Pillow ſhall be, And whilſt thou doſt ſleep, i'le be careful of thee: I'le wake, and i'le watch, and i'le kiſs thee for joy, And no Venomous Creature ſhall my Love annoy. The Satyrs ſhall Pipe, and the Syrens ſhall ſing, The wood-nimphs with muſick ſhall make the Groves ring: The Horn it ſhall ſound, and the Hounds make a noiſe, To recreate my Love with ten thouſand rare joys. So now I am comming to haſten the deed, Pray Heaven and Gods Angels to be my good ſpeed: If fortune me favour, and Seas quiet prove, I ſoon will arrive at the Port which I love. Now Celia is gone to find out her Dear, His Heart that was ſad to comfort and cheer: No doubt but each other they will lovingly greet, When as they together do lovingly meet. L. P. FINIS.
