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).

Truths Integrity, OR, A Curious Northern Ditty Called, Love will find out the Way. To a pleaſant new tune

OVer the Moutains and under the waves, Over the Fountains, and under the Graves. Under floods which are the déepeſt, which do Neptune obey, Over Rocks which are the ſtéepeſt, Love will find out the way. Where there is no place for the Glow-worm to lye, Where there is no place for the receipt of a fly, where the gnat ſhe dares not venter leſt her ſelf faſt ſhe lay, But if Love come he will enter, and will, &c. You may eſtéem him, a child of his force, Or you may déem him, a coward which is worſe. But if he whom Love doth honour, be conceal'd from the day, Set a thouſand guards upon him, Love will, &c. Some think to looſe him, which is too unkind, And ſome do ſuppoſe him, po • heart to be blind, But if he were hidden, do the beſt you may, Blind Love if ſo you call him. will find, &c. Well may the Eagle ſtoop down to the fiſt, Or you may inveagle the Phenix of the Eaſt. With fear the Tygers to give over their prey, But never ſtop a Lover, he will, &c From Dover to Barwick, and Nations throughout, Brave Guy Earl of Warwick, that Champion ſo ſtout. With his warlike behaviour, through the world he did ſtray To win h • s Phillis favour, Love will &c, In order next enters Bevis ſo brave, After Adventures and pollicy grave. To ſée whom he deſired, his Joſian ſo gay, For whom his heart was fired, Love will find out the way.
The ſecond Part, To the ſame tune,

THE Gordion knot, which True Lovers knit, Undo you cannot nor yet break it. Make uſe of your Inventions, their fancyes to betray, To fruſtrate your Intentions, Love will find out the way; From Court to the Cottage, in Bower and Hall, From the King to the Begger. Love conquers all. Though nere ſo ſtout and Lordly ſtrive do what you may, Yet ſure, never ſo hardy; Love will, &c. Love hath power over Princes, and greateſt Emperour, In any Provinces, ſuch is Loves power. There is no reſiſting but him obey, In ſpight of all conteſting, Love will, &c, If that he were hidden, as all men that are, Were ſtrictly forbidden, that place to declare. Winds that have no abidings, pittying their delay, Will come and bring him Tydings. and direct &c. If the Earth could part him, he would gallop it o're, If the Seas ſhould overthwart him, he will ſwim to the ſhore. Should his Love become a ſwalow through his Ayre to ſtray, Love will lend wings to follow, and will find out the way. There is no ſtriving, to croſſe his intent, There is no contriving, his plots to prevent, But if once the Meſſenger gréet him that his True love doth ſtay, If death ſhould come and meet him, Love will find out the way.
