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).

THE Undaunted SEAMAN; Who reſolved to Fight for his King and Country: TOGETHER WITH His Love's Sorrowful Lamentation at their Departure. To the Tune of, I often for my Jenny ſtrove.

Licenced according to Order.

MY Love I come to take my leave, Yet prithee do not ſigh and grieve; On the wide Ocean I will ſight, For to maintain the Nation's Right: Vnder Noble Chief Commanders, I reſolve to take my Chance; On Board I'll enter, Life I'll venture, To ſubdue the Pride of France. My Dear, ſaid ſhe, be not unkind, I ſhall no Peace nor Comfort find, My very Heart will break for thee, If thus we muſt divided be: While thou art with Foes ſurrounded, Where the loud-mouth'd Cannons roar; This Warlike Action breeds Diſtraction, I ſhall never ſee thee more. Let no ſuch fear attend my Dear, I hope to be as ſafe as here; For King and Country's good I'll ſtand, And vow to fight with Heart and Hand: None but Cowards fear to venture, Freely will I take my chance; On Board I'll enter, Life I'll venture, To ſubdue the Pride of France.

The Youthful Damſel then did cry, I'll part with Gold and Silver too, Another perſon to Employ, that may be better ſpar'd than you: Never ſhall I be contented, While you leave your Native Shore; This warlike Action breeds Diſtraction; I ſhall never ſee thee more. My Dear all Hazards will I run, My thinks the Work cannot be done, Except I do in Perſon go, To Face that Perjur'd Potent Foe: We have Warlike Sons of Thunder, Which will Valiantly Advance To the wide Ocean, for Promotion, And to check the Pride of France. My Dear, the Royal Engliſh Fleet, With the Dutch Navy, will compleat The Work, which fairly is begun, We fear not but Monſieur will run; For we'll drive the Rogues before us, Teach them ſuch an Engliſh Dance, While they retire, ſtill we'll fire, Check the growing Pride of France. With Sighs and Tears this Damſel ſaid, If you reſolve to go to Sea, In Sailers Robes I'll be array'd, and freely go along with thee: Life and Fortune I will Venture, Rather than to ſtay on Shore; Grief will oppreſs me, and poſſeſs me, That I ne'er ſhall ſee thee more. Said he, My Deareſt ſtay on Land, ſuch idle Fancies ne'r purſue, Thy ſoft and tender milk-white Hand, Seamen's labour cannot do: Here I leave both Gold and Treaſure, To maintain my Dear on Shore; But ſtill She crying and replying, I ſhall never ſee thee more. Thy Gold's no more than Droſs to me, alas! my Heart is ſunk full low, The want of thy ſweet Company, will ſurely prove my Overthrow: Therefore deareſt do not leave me Here tormented, on the Shore; Let us not ſever, love for ever, Leſt I ne'er ſhall ſee thee more. Tho' bitterly ſhe did Complain, Her Sighs and Tears were all in vain, He would not ſuffer her to go, So many Cares and Griefs to know: But with ſweet Salutes they parted, She was left with Tears on Shore; Here often crying and replying, I ſhall never ſee him more.
