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).

MEMENTO
MORI
To
the
Memory
,
of
the
Incomparable
SIR
ANDREVV
RAMSAY
OF
ABBOTS-HALL
.
Provost
of
Edinburgh
,
Counseller
to
His
Majesty
,
Lord
of
the
Session
,
&c.
Who
departed
this
Life
,
January
17.
1688.
A
FVNERAL
ELEGIE
.
AS
to
divide
the
Winds
that
disagree
,
When
in
Tempestuous
Storms
they
mingled
be
,
And
lay
their
Stern
Encounters
so
asleep
,
That
they
may
whisper
Musick
to
the
Deep
,
Impossible
to
us
it
is
;
no
less
,
Thy
Praises
,
or
our
Griefs
,
are
to
express
,
Great
Abbots-Hall
!
Thy
worth
they
only
know
,
Who
are
above
,
when
we
do
mourn
below
,
By
Intellect
and
Love
,
Ye
converse
there
,
Things
banished
our
muddie
Hemisphere
.
Soul-wounding-grief
,
and
wonder
,
are
the
two
,
Sole
Legacies
,
Thou
leaves
us
here
below
.
And
could
not
Thou
have
stayed
with
us
a
while
,
Till
Thou
had
seen
a
fully
purged
I
le
.
Thou
Edinburghs
Glory
,
Pleasure
of
our
eyes
!
Yet
blest
be
God
,
it
is
with
no
surprise
.
Although
our
woeful
Comfort
who
can
smoother
,
Is
only
this
,
we
'll
ne're
losse
such
another
.
And
this
compleats
our
Tragedie
,
beyond
This
,
Fate
can
hardly
give
a
greater
wound
.
Our
Nation
's
Bankrupt
grown
,
all
men
may
see
,
Beyond
the
hopes
of
a
Recoverie
.
When
Gallantry
and
Justice
have
their
Fall
,
In
Collington
and
Generous
Abbots-Hall
,
For
we
could
say
,
while
they
were
both
alive
,
The
Kingdoms
Honour
could
all
Storms
survive
.
Never
did
active
Soul
of
Sacred
Birth
,
Inform
a
more
Celestial
piece
of
Earth
,
Than
Abbots-Hall
,
who
scarce
has
left
behind
,
A
Subject
,
of
a
more
Majestick
Mind
.
How
did
He
all
our
angry
Broiles
appease
,
And
with
His
own
Unrest
,
procure
our
Ease
.
He
car'd
not
what
Turmoils
possest
His
Breast
,
So
that
the
Town
from
Tumults
,
was
at
rest
.
For
alwayes
like
a
Monarch
,
He
did
Reign
,
Above
dull-piti'd
Envie
,
or
Disdain
.
Yet
never
did
He
to
Preferment
rise
By
Scrapes
,
or
Bribes
,
or
such
base
Simonies
.
He
Calm'd
all
Quarrells
,
Vanquisht
every
Spite
,
And
made
each
Enemie
His
proselyte
.
More
than
ten
years
,
which
spoke
His
high
Renown
,
He
was
the
Angel-Guardian
of
the
Town
.
Where
he
made
void
the
Poets
sad
Regrate
.
Of
just
Astreas
long
bewail'd
Retreat
,
His
every
Act
that
Opprobrie
cancell'd
.
In
Him
she
spoke
,
in
Him
she
Breath'd
,
and
Dwell'd
.
We
may
affirm
it
since
our
Saviours
Birth
,
He
was
Her
truest
Deputie
on
Earth
.
What
ever
Sentence
from
his
Lips
did
fall
,
His
Prudence
made
it
still
Rhetorical
.
When
this
whole
Island
Floated
in
a
Sea.
Of
Disobedience
,
and
Disloyaltie
,
He
by
his
Wisdom
all
these
Syrens
past
,
Being
pinioned
unto
the
Loyal
Mast
.
His
Goodness
,
and
his
Wisdom
,
was
so
Great
,
He
Equally
both
Knaves
,
and
Fools
,
did
Hate
.
If
what
we
Great
or
Generous
Esteem
,
Exemption
from
the
Grave
could
justly
claim
,
He
had
(
could
now
Fates
Rigour
be
abated
)
With
Enoch
and
Elias
been
translated
.
And
yet
though
Death
dissolved
hath
His
;
Frame
,
He
'l
be
immortal
in
a
lasting
Fame
;
If
Generosity
from
Death
could
save
,
Great
Abbots-Hall
He
had
escapt
the
Grave
.
But
now
being
Heavens
Inhabitant
,
and
Guest
,
He
unmixt
Sweets
enjoyes
amongst
the
Blest
.
Yet
may
His
Fame
on
Earth
,
till
time
shal
die
,
Yeeld
unto
nothing
,
but
Eternitie
.
