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 Troy Town . [ 1 ] COme and assist my Trembling Pen , While I endeavour to explain , The Bloody minds of cruel Men , That will no wickedness refrain . But Bloudy Humors to fulfill , Innocent Blood they daily spill , [ 2 ] Now my sad story I 'le begin , The like I think you n'er did hear , How that the great Esquire Thin , Was Murther'd it doth plain appear . Their Bloudy minds for to fulfill , This Squire most horridly they kill . [ 3 ] On Sunday last this Gentleman , Clear of all Scandals and Reproach , At several places he had been , Accompany'd with his Grace in Coach. This worthy Person thought no ill , Whilst Villains sought his Bloud to spill . [ 4 ] And thus they pass'd the Streets along , Till seven or eight a Clock at Night , And then his Grace he would be gone , In whom so much he did delight . Poor soul he little thought of ill , While Villains sought his Bloud to spill . [ 5 ] His Grace he was no sooner gone , But this sad accident befell , By Villains he was set upon , Near to a place that 's called Pell-mell . Their Hellish minds they did fulfill , And there his precious Bloud did spill . [ 6 ] Up to his Coach these Villains ride , As by his Servants it is said , With Weapons which they did provide , Whil'st he poor Soul was not afraid , For harmless Souls do fear no ill , While Villains seek their Bloud to spill . [ 7 ] Meeting with him as they desir'd , Their Hellish courage then grew hot , Into his Coach at him they fir'd . And to him many Bullets Shot . And so like Villains him they kill'd , And his most precious Bloud they spill'd . [ 8 ] Away like Villains then they fled , With horror doubtless in their mind , This worthy Soul three quarters dead , Bleeding i' th Coach they left behind . Now had the Villains got their will , That sought his precious Bloud to spill . [ 9 ] When these unwelcom tidings came , Unto the Dukes astonish'd ear , His wond'rous sorrow for the same , Did on a suddain plain appear . He strait pursu'd those that did spill , His precious Bloud that thought no ill . [ 10 ] This Person then did all the night , Pursue these Murtherers in vain , Till Sol with his resplendent light , Did to our sight return again . But could not find those that did kill , That harmless soul as thought no ill . [ 11 ] But Heaven did presently find out What with great care he could not do , 'T was well he was the Coach gone out , Or he might have been murther'd too , For they who did this Squire kill , Would fear the Bloud of none to spill . [ 12 ] These Villains they were seiz'd at last , And brought before his Majesty , This horrid thing they then confest , Now Prisoners theyin Newgate lie . And be condemned no doubt they will , That Squire Thyn's sweet blood did spill . LONDON , Printed for the Author , J. M. 1682 :
