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).

The Dear are wounded , but they are not sl●in , Yet so they 're wounded , that they are or'e tain ; And in their taking pitty it is shown : for why , 't was thought that some there was with fawn . The Keepers swore great Oaths , upon their lives , they 'd be as kind to them , as men are to their wivess , the pleasant sport this Ditty doth declare , Of the Huntsmen , and the fallow Dear . By I. M. Tune of , amongst the leaves so green a. COme all you young Maidens & lend an ear Come listen a while and you shall hear How the keepers did sport with the fallow Deer Amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down derry derry down , Hey down down , ho down down , Hey down , ho down , derry derry down Amongst the leaves so green a. The keepers would on a hunting go , And under their coats each carried his Bow , And all for to shoot the bonny bonny Doe , Amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down derry derry down , Hey down down , ho down down , Hey down , ho down , derry derry down , Amongst the leaves so green a. They spyed five Does upon a hill , And to shoot at them was their good will , But none of them they meant for to kill , Amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down , &c. At the first Doe they shot at and they mist , The second Doe they clipt and they kist , And they laid them down where no 〈◊〉 a wist Amongst the leaves so green a. The one cried out unto the other , I am serv'd as my Father serv'd my mother . All the fear of their taking this joy did smother Amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down , &c. The third Doe she made great moan , Bcause that she was big with Fawn . Which made her to go weeping home , From among the leaves so green a. Hey down , &c. The Fourth doe could no longer stay , But she must be gone her way , For fear that the keepers should her lay Amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down , &c. But soon after she did repent , And to turn again she was full bent , To lie down and take her hearts content , amongst the leaves so green a. hey down , &c. The fifth Doe leapt over the stile , But the keeper he got her by the heel , And there he did both kiss and feel amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down , &c. He pricked her streight with his dart But she cried out she felt no smart , And therein lay the keepers art , amongst the leaves so green a. Hey down , 〈…〉 These fair Does they leapt and they skipt , Till leaping along , at length they were tript , No sooner they fell , but the keepers they clipt , amongst the leaves so green a. hey down , &c. These bold Huntsmen were all agreed , And by consent these fair Does did bleed , But after that came often to feed amongst the leaves so green a. hey down , &c. Great crowds came running over the plain , Expecting to see these fair does slain , But like fools as they came they return'd again From amongst the leaves so green a. hey down , &c. If it be true as old wives say , Take a Doe in the month of May , And a Forresters courage she soon will allay amongst the leaves so green a. hey down , &c. These Huntsmen were so gentle inclin'd They set them●elfe their courage to find , But away they tript , so swift as the wind , From among the leaves so green a. Hey down derry derry down ; Hey down down , ho down down , Hey down , ho down , derry derry down , Amongst the leaves so green a. Printed by and for A. M.
