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 Valiant Souldiers Gallantry: OR, THE Glory of the Camp-Royal, ON HOUNSLOW-HEATH. The Camp in all its ſplendor now is ſeen, And has been grac'd both by the King & Queen, Nobles, and thoſe of meaneſt rank, refort To view thoſe Tents of War, Great M • rs's Court To the Tune of, Hark! the thundring Cannons roar.

This may be Printed, R. P.

I. NOole Hearts let joy abound, Drums they beat and Trumpets ſound, Martial Muſick Eccohoes round, and of the Royal Stamp too; Since the gallant ſight is ſeen, By our Gracious King and Queen, Of the Warriours that remain within the Royal Camp now. II. Brave and gay tne soldiers are, In their Tents and Files of War, Martial Glory they prefer, to all we dare attempt too: In • he Field of Fame they ſtand, In Rank and Order at command, Loyal hearts and active hand, within the Royal Camp now. III. Shining in their brighteſt Arms, To ſecure us from the harms, Of the Rebels faint alarms, and all their courage damp too, Men of brave renown that know Not to ſtoop unto a Foe, Better Europe cannot ſhow, than in the Royal Camp now. IV. Tents and Trenches are compleat, Soldiers ready at the beat, To advance or to retreat, as Exerciſe calls them too: Whilſt the Trumpets wound the Air, Waving Enſigns ſhivering there, Do our Princes ſame declate, within the Royal Camp too. V. Giving England happy reſt, Peace poſſeſſing e'ry breaſt, That with Loyalty is bleſt, and them from fear Exempt too: Store of plenty there is had, Horſe and foot are gayly clad, By their brave Commanders led, within the Royal Camp too. VI. Artill'ry, a Noble Train, There's likewiſe upon the Plain, That has often ſpoke in Flame, and loud in Thunder rampt too; When the King and Nobles came To behold the Warlike Frame, And were pleaſed with the ſame, within the Royal Camp now. VII. There the feats of Arms were done, In a ſhew as War came on, As if a Field was loſt and won, ſuch was their valour prompt too, Noble Fame though but in jeſt, Made each ſtrive for to do beſt. In Exerciſe as is expreſt, within the Royal Camp now. VIII. Where ſome Thouſands flock to view, Thoſe brave Souls that can ſubdue, Difficulties old and new, and are from grief exempt too: Count it brave their Prince to ſerve, Have rewards that thoſe deſerve, Who from Loyalty ne'r ſwerve, within the Royal Camp now. IX. Then lets baniſh needleſs fear, None to be offended dare, When ſuch Loyal hearts there are as ſtill do put a damp to thoſe that would us undermine, And to reſtleſneſs incline, Who but vainly do repine, at this the Royal Camp now. FINIS.
