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).

HAIL , mighty PAN ! what Present shall we pay To your Auspicious Deity to day ? We are the meanest of your rustick Swains ; And have no other Palace but our Plains . Untaught in Courtly Galantry we come To give the entertainment of our home . Part of the poor increase our fortunes have , And that besides , your kind indulgence gave . Those bashful Nymphs , our Muses , blush to see , A Train so gay attend your Deity . Whilst they clad in their home-spun stuff scarce dare Look on the great procession , though from far . With what a trembling reverence their hands Cull all the choicest flow'rs that grace the Lands , To bind your brows with such an Ornament , As all their Artless consults cou'd invent ! 'T is you , Great Sir , that gives us peaceful days . One smile from you revives our dying Bays : For when th' appearing Bustles of the State Seem'd to disturb our Studies , as of late , Under the spreading umbrage of your Oak We sate securely from the Thunder-stroak . But now the pow'rful glory of your Crown Has forc't the fond aspiring Vapours down ; Has banish't all the thickning mists afar , And once again has clear'd the troubl'd Air. Now in the kinder Sun-shine of your Reign , We 'l bask our selves , and feel new life again . We 'l dedicate Solemnities to you , And all our ancient harmless sports renew . Upon the banks of aged Cam we 'l sit , Whilst some kind covert , shades us from the heat . There on our Reeds we 'l pipe unto the Groves , And make the watry Nymphs forget their Loves . The Current shall with gentle murmurs run , And pleased at its calm , smile on the Sun. The gentle Gales shall in soft Breezes sing , Amongst the listning Trees , God bless the King.
