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 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).

Tune of , Cloris awake . Written by Joseph Martin . THere was a stout Seaman as I understand , That lately came Sayling into fair England , And for to be merry it was his intent And now you shall hear he has cause to repent . His Mess-Mates and he did together agree To go to the Tavern some pastime to see , Where he met with a lass that so pleased his mind That he vowed unto her he 'd be loving and kind . This maid being willing together they went. Where some howrs in pleasure together they spent , But at last all the Creame of the jest will appear When this couple in private together was there . He kindly imbrac'd her and thus to her said I greatly do fear that thou wilt dye a maid ; Now I am resolved what ever betide If thou art but willing to make thee my Bride . I 'le leave all the Seas the Rocks & the storms And kindly embrace thee all night in my arms , Then pray thee sweet heart be thou not so coy For soon thou shalt see I will get thee a boy , The Maids Answer . For to marry kind sir I am loath to begin , For all sorts of Charges comes tumbling in , Yet I am resolved what ever betide I le have a stout Seaman to lye by my side . A Seaman I love him as dear as my life And I am resolv'd to be a Seamans wife : Then why should I stay now I am in my prime For we will be marryed now it is high time . The Seamans answer . The young man at this began to rejoyce To think he had met with They straightway was married the truth for to say , But she made him a Cuckold the very next day . He presently finding his wife's pollicy , He then was resolved a trick for to try And strait did disguise himself as some people say He pick'd her up walking in Ratcliff high way . To the Tavern they went where full merry they were But she little mistrusted her husband was there , Come le ts drink a health without any delay My Cuckold at home all the reckoning shall pay . Her husband at this in a passion strait fell And with a good stick he lamfatted her well , So taking his leave he bid England adieu Since one has proov'd false he did think had been true .
