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 the Tune of , Wharton . TO lodge it was my chance of late , at Kendal in the Sizes week , UUhere I saw many a gallant state was walking up and down the street , Down plumpton park as I did pass , I heard a Bird sing in a glen : The chiefest of her Song it was , farewell the flower of Serving-men . Sometimes I heard the the Musick sweet , which was delightfull unto me : At length I heard one wail and weep , a gallant youth condemn'd to dye : Down Plumpton park , &c. A Gentleman of courage bold , his like I never saw before , But when as I did him behold , my grief it grew still more and more : Down Plumpton Park , &c. Of watery eyes there were great store , for all did weep that did him see , He made the heart of many sore , and I lamented for company : Down Plumpton park , &c. To God above ( quoth he ) I call , that sent his son to suffer death : For to receive my sinful soul , so soon as I shall loose my breath , Down Plumpton park , &c. O God I have deserved death , for deeds that I have done to thee : Yet never liv'd I like a thief , till I met with ill company . Down Plumpton park , &c. For I may curse the dismal hour , first time that I did give consent : For to Rob the King's Receiver and to take away his Rent : Down Plumpton park , &c. You Gallants all be warn'd by me , learn Cards and Dice for to refrain , Fly whores , eschew ill company , for these ; thing will breed you pain : Down Plumpton park , &c. All earthly treasures are but vain and worldly wealth is vanity : Search nothing else but heaven to gain remember all that we must dye : Down Plumton park , &c.

The second part of the Lamentation of Iohn Musgrave . To the same Tune . THe bait beguiles the bonny Fish , some care not what they swear or say The Lamb becomes the Foxes dish when as the old sheep runs away : Down Plumpton park as I did pass , I heard a bird sing in a glen , Thé chiefest of her song it was , fare well the flower of Serving-men . The Fowlers that the Plovers get , take glistering glass their net to set : The Ferret when the mouth is cop't . doth drive the Coney to the Net : Down Plumton park , &c.

Farewell good people less and more , both great and small that did me ken : ●●rewell rich , and farewell poor , and farewell all good Serving-men ; ●●wn Plumpton park , &c. Now by my death I wish all know , that this same lesson you may teach , Of what degree , of high , or low , climb not I say above your reach : Down Plumpton park , &c. Good Gentlemen I you intreat , that have more sons than you have land● In idleness do not them keep , teach them to labour with their hand● Down Plumpton park ; &c.

Come man of death and do me right , my glass is run I cannot stay : With Christ I hope to lodge this night and all good people for me pray : Down Plumpton park , &c.
