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).

WAs ever Maiden ſo ſcorned, by one that ſhe loved ſo dear; Long time have I ſighed and mourned, and ſtill my Love will not hear: O turn to me my own dear Heart, and I prithee Love turn to me; For thou act the Lad I long for, and, alas! what remedy? My lodging is on the cold ground, and very hard is my fare, But that which troubles me moſt, is the unkindneſs of my Dear: O turn to me my own dear Heart, and I prithee Love turn to me; For thou art the Lad I long for, and 〈…〉 O ſtop not thy ear to the wailings of me a poor harmleſs Maid; You know we are ſubject to failings, blind Cupid hath me betraid: And now I muſt cry, O turn Love, and I prithee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone art the cauſe of my miſrey. How canſt thou be ſo heard hearted, and cruel to me alone; If ever we ſhould be parted, then all my delight is gone; But ever I cry, O turn Love, and I prithee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone art the cauſe of my miſery. I'll make thee pritty ſweet poſies, and conſtant I ever will prove, I'll ſtrow thy chamber with roſes and all to delight my Love: Then turn to me my own dear Heart, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone can procure my liberty. I'll do my endeavour to pleaſe thee, by making the bed full ſoft, Of all thy ſorrows i'll eaſe thee, by kiſſing thy lips full oft: Then turn to me my own dear Heart, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone can procure my liberty. But t •• u wilt harden thy heart ſtill 〈1 line〉 〈1 line〉 〈1 line〉 〈1 line〉 〈1 line〉 〈1 line〉 If that thou ſtill do diſ •• in me, I never will love thee more, Thy cruelty ſhall never pain me, for i'll have another in ſtore: But ſtill I cry, O turn Love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone art the cauſe of my miſery. By hearing her pittiful clamour, the paſſion of love he felt; He could no longer diſdain her, his frozen heart it did melt: For ever the cryed, O turn Love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the Man that alone can procure my liberty. He ſaid, My Love I will pleaſe thee, thy heavineſs grieves me ſore, But let not ſorrow once ſeize thee, I never will grieve thee more: I'll turn to thee my own kind Heart, dear Love i'll turn to thee; For I am Man that now am come to procure thy liberty. I'll crown thee with a garland of ſtraw then, and marry thee with a ruſh-ring, My frozen heart it will thaw then, and merrily we will ſing: But ever ſhe cry'd, O turn Love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art Man that alone can releaſe my miſery.
