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).

Tune

As

Air.
By
William
Blunten
.
WHy
should
I
thus
complain
,
on
thee
So
cruelly
thou
murderest
me
,
For
unto
thee
it
is
well
known
,
Thou
art
the
Maid
I
love
alone
,
In
none
but
thee
I
take
delight
,
I
think
on
thee
both
day
and
night
;
I
give
to
thee
my
heart
away
,
Do
not
with
hatred
me
repay
,
When
first
thy
sweet
face
I
did
see
,
I
thought
thot
none
was
like
to
thee
;
I
wish
I
had
not
seen
the
day
,
When
first
thou
stol'st
my
heart
away
.
Hard
is
thy
heart
,
harder
then
steel
,
Colder
then
Ice
,
that
frost
congeal
;
How
many
thousand
times
doth
make
,
My
heart
to
bleed
for
thy
sweet
sake
.
I
was
forewarned
by
thine
eyes
,
Of
thy
most
killing
Cruelties
,
But
Cupid
hath
so
blinded
me
.
Now
I
shall
dye
for
love
of
thee
;
But
O
how
good
had
been
my
case
,
That
I
had
never
seen
thy
face
,
My
captive
heart
had
then
been
free
,
But
now
I
can
love
none
but
thee
.
When
I
am
dead
,
this
thou
wilt
say
,
That
I
have
cast
my
love
away
;
Too
late
't
will
be
then
to
complain
,
If
that
you
do
,
it
's
all
in
vain
.
Therefore
my
dearest
Love
comply
,
Aud
case
me
of
this
cruelty
;
Let
not
me
dye
in
this
dispair
,
But
grant
thy
love
to
me
my
dear
.
The
Maids
Answer
.
DOubt
not
my
Love
,
nor
do
not
fear
,
Thou
art
the
man
that
I
love
dear
,
I
did
but
try
thy
constancy
,
For
I
do
love
no
man
but
thee
.
Then
grieve
no
more
,
nor
yet
complain
,
Thy
love
to
me
is
not
in
vain
:
For
constant
I
will
ever
be
,
And
I
do
lovt
no
man
but
thee
.
Wy
shouldst
thou
say
thy
hart
will
break
And
all
for
love
of
my
sweet
sake
,
I
constant
to
thee
still
will
prove
,
As
ever
was
the
Turtle-Dove
.
Nothing
shall
part
my
Love
and
I
,
Vntil
the
very
day
we
dye
:
We
'l
live
in
love
,
and
so
agree
,
As
man
and
wife
they
ought
to
be
.
The
Young-Mans

the
Heaven
above

Now

the
Church

And
married

:
Although
our
Portions

,
True

their
parents

The
