Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).

PHillis on the new made hay On a pleaſant Summers day, She in a wanton poſture lay thinking no Shephard nigh her Till Amintas came that way and threw himſelf down by her.

Then Amintas mildly said Phillis be not now afraid But entertain, thy ſhepherd ſwain. now we are met together, Then I ſhall prize thy ſparkling eyes. that did invite me hither. I have rang'd the Plains about For to find my Phillis out My flocks I left of joys bereft Whilſt I for thée did languiſh Tis in thy will my heart to fill with joy, or elſe with anguiſh

Then fair Phillis frowning ſaid, My privacy thou haſt betraid Therefore be gone, let me alone do not diſturb my pleaſure, Nor do not move thy ſute of love, but leave me to my leaſure. Never yet did Shepheards Swain On this ſmooth Scicilian plain Once dare to move my déep disdain by ſuch like bold intruſion. Then ceaſe thy ſuit 'tis but in vain I ſcorn ſuch fond deluſion. When Amintas ſée her frown Hoping ſtill his joys to crown Quoth he my dear, as I am here I like not this behavior, Tis Lovers bliſs, to toy and kiſs it wins a Maidens favor. Let us like the Ivy twine. And our loves in one combine Grim Pluto loved Proſerpine her beauty did him fetter; When thou art mine, & I am thine, I'l pleaſe thée ten times better Fye for ſhame fond Boy ſhe ſaid Im re • olv'd to live a Maid Thou a • t too young, to do me wrong be not ſo b • ld to venture, Whilſt he • oor youth, to ſpeak the truth ſtill aimed at the centre Phillis bluſht as red as blood When his mind ſhe underſtood His bold intent for to prevent ſhe us'd her beſt endeavor, His reſolution it was bent for he was loath to leave her.

Thus they ſpent this chriſtal day in ſuch wanton ſports and play, Amintias there, imbrac't his Dear. And bid her be light-hearted But night being come they haſted home. and kindly kiſt and parted▪
