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).

To a new Court tune . LOng ere the Morne expects the returne of Apollo from the Ocean Queene : Before the creak of the Croe or the breake of the day in the Welkin is seene , Mounted Idelia cheerfully makes to the Chase with his Bugle cleere : And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hounds and the Musicke of his Careere . Oft doth ha trace , through Wood , Parke and Chase , when he mounteth his Steed aloft : Oft he doth runne beyond farre his home , and deceiueth his pillow soft : Oft he expects , yet still hath defects , for still he is crost by the Hare : But more often he bounds to the cry of his Hounds , and doth thunder out his Careere . Hercules Hunted and spoyled the game , wheresoeuer he made his sport : Adon did Hunt but was slaine by the same , through Iunoes bad consort : Nep●haly to , did the Hart ouer goe , and he purged the Forrests there , When his horne did rebound , the noise to the hound , he did thunder out his Careere . Now bonny Bay with his foame waxeth Gray , déepe Gray waxeth Bay with blood : White Lilly tops doth send for their Caps , blacke Lady makes it good : Sorrowfull Watte , her widowes estate , forgets these delights to heare , And nimbly bounds to the cry of the Hound , and doth thunder out his Careere . Hilles with the heate of the Galloppers sweate , Reuiues their fréezing tops : Dales purple flowers , the spring from the showers , which downe from the Rowels drops : Swaines they repast , and Strangers they hast , no neglect when our Hornes they heare : To sée a fléete packe of Hounds in a shéete , and the Hunter in his Caréere . Thus he Caréeres ore the Moores , or the méeres , ouer déepes , ouer Downes and Clay : Till he hath wonne , the day from the Sunne , and the euening from the day , Sports then he ends , and ioyfully wends home to his Cottage , where Frankely he feasts both himselfe and his Guests , and carowseth to his Caréere . FINIS . The Faulconers Hunting . To the tune of Basse his Careere . EArely in the morne , when the night 's ouerworne , and Apollo with his golden beames : The Day-starre ouertakes , and Cinthia forsakes , to frolike with his siluer streames . We with our delights , and the Haggard in our flights , that afronts the Celestiall Spheare : With lures and with traines , we gallop ore the plaines , to beholde a Cancecléere . From the fist shée goes , and her nimbly throwes , to out flye the whistling winde : Onward still a●aine , ouer bush ouer plaine , till her Gelding gen faintly she findes : An vpshot then she makes , till the cloudes she ouertakes , her ambition rests not there : But mounting still she flies , like a Phoenix in the skies , and comes downe with a Cancecléere . Mounting in the Skie , to the shape of a Fire , like a sparke of Elementall Fire : Upward then she tends to make good her place amends , till the Retriefe giues her desire : No Swallow , nor doue , their clipping wings can moue like her when i' the Cloudes they appeare : She comes downe from aboue , like the thunderbolt of Ioue , and doth st●●pe with a Cancecleere . Both young and olde prepare , to the sport that is so rare from their weary labour comming for to sée : Lifting vp their eyes from the Plaines to the Skies , where the wonders of the Welkins be : The Spirits of the Ayre in huddles doe repaire , the Musicke of the Bels for to hears , And quickly flye apart affrighted at the heart , when she stoopes to the Cancecléere . The Mallard with complaints in her golden feathers faints while the Haggard with the coy disdaine : Tryumphant in her prey , concludes the Euening gray with a pleasant and a louely gaine : Homeward then we wend , & the twilight then we spen● in discourse our delights to heare : We tast the Quaile we kild , and carowse in what is fill● which goes round with a Cancecleere .
