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).

A
Pastoral
Dialogue
BETWEEN
ALEXIS
and
STREPHON
,
Written
by
the
Right
Honourable
,
The
Late
Earl
of
Rochester
.
At
the
BATH
,
1674.
Alex.
I.
THere
sighs
not
on
the
Plain
So
lost
a
Swain
as
I
;
Scorcht't
up
with
Love
,
frozen
with
Disdain
.
Of
killing
Sweetness
I
complain
.
Streph.
If
't
is
Corinna
,
die
.
II.
Since
first
my
dazled
Eyes
were
thrown
On
that
bewitching
Face
,
Like
ruin'd
Birds
,
rob'd
of
their
Young
,
Lamenting
,
frighted
,
and
alone
,
I
fly
from
place
to
place
.
III.
Fram'd
by
some
Cruel
Powers
above
,
So
nice
she
is
,
and
fair
;
None
from
undoing
can
remove
,
Since
all
,
who
are
not
Blind
,
must
Love
;
Who
are
not
vain
,
Despair
.
Alex.
IV.
The
Gods
no
sooner
give
a
Grace
,
But
fond
of
their
own
Art
,
Severely
jealous
,
ever
place
To
guard
the
Glories
of
a
Face
,
A
Dragon
in
the
Heart
.
V.
Proud
and
ill-natur'd
Powers
they
are
,
Who
peevish
to
Mankind
,
For
their
own
Honour's
sake
,
with
Care
,
Make
a
sweet
Form
divinely
Fair
,
And
adds
a
Cruel
Mind
.
Streph.
VI.
Since
she
's
insensible
of
Love
,
By
Honour
taught
to
hate
,
If
we
,
forc'd
by
Decrees
above
,
Must
sensible
to
Beauty
prove
,
How
Tyrannous
is
Fate
?
Alex.
VII
.
I
to
the
Nymph
have
never
nam'd
The
Cause
of
all
my
pain
.
Streph.
Such
Bashfulness
may
well
be
blam'd
;
For
since
to
serve
we
're
not
asham'd
,
Why
should
she
blush
to
Reign
?
Alex.
VIII
.
But
if
her
haughty
Heart
despise
My
humble
proffer'd
One
,
The
just
Compassion
she
denies
,
I
may
obtain
from
other's
Eyes
;
Hers
are
not
Fair
alone
.
IX
.
Devouring
Flames
require
new
Food
;
My
Heart
's
consum'd
almost
:
New
Fires
must
kindle
in
her
Blood
,
Or
Mine
go
out
,
and
that
's
as
good
.
Streph.
Would'st
live
,
when
Love
is
lost
?
X.
Be
dead
before
thy
Passion
dies
;
For
if
thou
should'st
survive
,
What
Anguish
would
the
Heart
surprize
,
To
see
her
Flames
begin
to
rise
,
And
Thine
no
more
Alive
.
Alex.
XI
.
Rather
what
Pleasure
shou'd
I
meet
In
my
Tryumphant
scorn
,
To
see
my
Tyrant
at
my
Feet
;
Whil'st
taught
by
her
,
unmov'd
I
sit
A
Tyrant
in
my
Turn
.
Streph.
XII
.
Ungentle
Shepherd
,
cease
for
shame
;
Which
way
can
you
pretend
To
merit
so
Divine
a
Flame
,
Who
to
dull
Life
makes
a
mean
Claim
,
When
Love
is
at
an
End
?
XIII
.
As
Trees
are
by
their
Bark
embrac'd
,
Love
to
my
Soul
doth
cling
;
When
torn
by
th'
Herd's
greedy
Taste
,
The
injur'd
Plants
feel
they
're
defac't
,
They
wither
in
the
Spring
.
XIV
.
My
rifled
Love
would
soon
retire
,
Dissolving
into
Aire
,
Shou'd
I
that
Nymph
cease
to
admire
,
Blest
in
whose
Arms
I
will
expire
,
Or
at
her
Feet
despair
.
