For 2 countertenors, 2 recorders, and continuo. Advertisements: p. 30. Reproduction of original in Huntington Library. 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 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).

Heptinstall , for Henry Playford , at his Shop in the Temple Change Fleetstreet , or at his House in Arundelstreet over against the Blew Ball. 1696. The ODE . I. MArk how the Lark and Linnet Sing , With rival Notes They strain their warbling Throats , To welcome in the Spring . But in the close of Night , When Philomel begins her Heav'nly lay , They cease their mutual spight , Drink in her Musick with delight , And lift'ning and silent , and silent and list'ning , and lift'ning and silent obey . II. So ceas'd the rival Crew when Purcell came , They Sung no more , or only Sung his Fame . Struck dumb they all admir'd the God-like Man , The God-like Man , Alas , too soon retir'd , As He too late began . We beg not Hell , our Orpheus to restore , Had He been there , Their Sovereigns fear Had sent Him back before . The pow'r of Harmony too well they knew , He long e'er this had Tun'd their jarring Sphere , And left no Hell below . III. The Heav'nly Quire , who heard his Notes from high , Let down the Scale of Musick from the Sky : They handed him along , And all the way He taught , and all the way they Sung. Ye Brethren of the Lyre , and tunefull Voice , Lament his lott : but at your own rejoyce . Now live secure and linger out your days , The Gods are pleas'd alone with Purcell's Layes , Nor know to mend their Choice . FINIS .
