Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
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
Consummation

They

they

,
in
pompous
Throng
,
And
,
as
in
State
they
march
along
,
This
is
the
Burthen
of
their
Song
:
Chorus
.
Virtue
is
at
last
Regarded
,
And
the
Hero's
Toils
Rewarded
.
Hark
how
the
Neighb'ring
Nations
round
To
Britain's
Eccho'd
Mirth
resound
!
And
various
Languages
employ
To
speak
the
Universal
Joy.
Let
Winter
Smile
,
the
Fields
be
Gay
,
Woods
and
Vales
in
Confort
Sing
,
Flowing
Tides
their
Tribute
bring
To
Welcome
Peace
and
Caesar's
Day
.
The
Trumpet
's
Sound
and
Cannon's
Roar
,
No
longer
are
the
Voice
of
War
;
Yet
both
shall
speak
,
and
both
be
heard
as
far
In
Triumph
now
as
in
Alarms
before
.
In
ancient
Times
of
lawless
Sway
,
When
Nations
groaning
lay
,
Despairing
all
,
and
all
Forlorn
,
Then
was
the
Great
ALCIDES
Born.
Such
was
Europe's
late
Distress
,
When
for
the
Suffering
World's
Repose
,
With
equal
Courage
and
Success
,
Our
Second
HERCULES
arose
.
O
Favour'd
both

Earth
and
Heav'n
!
To
Thee

and
only
Thee
,
't
is
giv'n
Rome's
first
Caesars
to
out-do
;
Our
Iulius
and
Augustus
too
.
War
's
dismal
Scene
is
chang'd
to
Peace
,
Yet
shall
not
his
Herculean
Labours
cease
:
Nobler
Wars
he
now
will
wage
,
Against
Infernal
Pow'rs
engage
,
And
quell
the
Hydra-Vices
of
the
Age.
Grand
CHORUS

So
Glorious
a
Task
does
a
Hero
require
,
Whom
Valour
and
Virtue
alike
do
Inspire
:
'T
is
a
Triumph
reserv'd
for
the
Just

the
Brave

Who
Fights
