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).

❧ A Newe Ballade of a Louer / Extollinge his Ladye. To the tune of Damon and Pithias.

〈♫〉 ALas my harte doth boyle, and burne with in my breſte: To ſhowe to thée myne

〈♫〉 onely déere, my ſute and ſure requeſt. My loue no toung can tell, ne pen can well deſcrye:

〈♫〉 Extend thy Loue for loue againe? Or els for Loue I dye.

¶ My loue is ſet ſo ſuer, And fixed on thee ſo: That by no meanes I can abſtaine, My faythfull loue to ſhowe, My wounded harte theirfore: To thee for helpe doth crye: Extend thy loue for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ Although the Gods were bent, With greedie mynde to ſlaye: My corpes with cruell panges of death, And lyfe to take awaye. yet ſhould my faythfull harte, At no tyme from thee flye: Show loue therfore for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ Although the Sun were bent, To burne me with his beames: and that mine eyes throw greuos pāgs, Should ſend forth bloudy ſtreames. yet would I not for ſake, But ſtyll to thee wolude crye: To ſhowe me loue for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ye though ech ſterre were tournd, Vntyll a fiery darte: And were all ready bent with payne, To perce throwe out my harte. yet coulde I not forſake, To loue thee faythfullye, Extend thy loue for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye.
❧ ye though eche foule were formde, A Serpent fell to be: My corps to ſlay wt bloudy woūds, And to deuower me. yet would I be thine owne, To loue full hartelye: Extend thy loue for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ye though the Lyon were, with gapinge gredye Iawe: Readye with rygorus raggye teeth, My fleſhe to teare and gnawe, yet woulde I be thine owne, To ſerue moſt earneſtlye: Extend thy loue, for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ ye though the fiſhes all, That ſwymes in ſurginge ſeaſe: ſhould ſwallowe me wt gredy mouth yet could thee not apeaſe. My earneſt harte to thee, To loue entyerlye: Extend thy loue for loue againe, Or els for loue I dye. ¶ ye though the earth would gape, And ſwallowe me there in: And that I ſhould tormentyd be, In hell with euery fyn. yet would I be thy owne, To ſaue or els to ſpyll: Show me therfore lyke loue againe Or els thou doſt me kyll. Finis. ꝙ M. Oſb.
