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).

IN the west of England , Born there was I understand , A famous Gallant was he in his Days , By birth a wealthy Clothiers Son , Deeds of Wonder he had done , to purchase him a long and lasting fame If I would tell you his Story , Pride was all his Glory : and lusty Stukely was he call'd in court He served a Bishop in the West , And did accompany the best ; maintaining of himself in gallant sort Being thus esteemed , And every where well Deemed ; he gain'd the favour of a London dame Daughter to an Alderman , Curtis she was called , to whom a Suitor gallantly he came . When she his Person ' spyed , He could not be denied ; so brave a Gentleman he was to see . She was quickly made his Wife ; In weal or woe to lead her Life , her Father willing thereto Did agree . Thus in State and Pleasure , Full many a Day they measure ; till cruel death with his regardless spite Bore old Curtis to the Grave , A thing that Stukely wish'd to have , that he might revel in Gold so bright . He was no sooner toombed , But Stukely he presumed , te spend a 100 pound a Day in waste , The greatest Gallant in the Land , Had Stukely's purse at his command ; thus merrily away the time he past . Taverns and Grdinaries , Were his chief Braveries , golden angels then flew up and down . Riots were his best Delight , With stately Feasting Day and Night ; in court and city thus he Won renown Thus wasted Lands and Livings , By his Lawless giving ; at length he sold the pavement of the Yard , Which covered was with Blocks of Tin , Gur Curtis left the same to him . Which he consumed lately as ●ou heard Whereat his Wife sore grieved , Desiring to be relieved ; make much of me dear husband she Did say , I 'll make much more of thee , said he , Than any one shall verily , I 'll fell thy Cloaths and then go AWAY , Cruelly thus hard hearted , Away from her he parted , and traveled into ITALY with speed , There he flourish'd many a DAY , In his Silks and rich Array , and did the Pleasures of a Lady feed , It was the Lady's pleasure , To give him Gold and Treasure ; maintain him with great Pomp & fame At last News came assuredly , Of a Battle fought in Barbary , and he would willingly go see the same , Many a Noble Gallant Sold both Land and Talent ; to follow Stukely in the famous fight . Wheras three Kings would , Advent'rously with Courage bold ; within this Battle shew'd themselves in fight , STUKELY and his Followers all , Of the King of Portugal , had entertainment like to Gentlemen . The King affected STUKELY so , That he did his Secrets know , and bore his royal standard now & then Upon this Day of honour , Each Man did shew his manner , Morocco and the King of BARBARY Pertugal and all his Train , Bravely glittering on the Plain , and gave the onset there most Valiently . The Cannons thore rebounded . And thundering Guns redounded , kill , kill , then was the Soldiers cry . Mangled Men lay on the Ground , And with Blood the Earth was Drown'd The sun was likewise darken'd in the sky Heaven was so displeased , And would not be appeased , but tokens of God's Wrath did show , That he was angry at this War , He sent a fearful blazing Star , thereby the King might his misfortune know Bloody was the slaughter , Or rather nruel Murder , wher six score thousand fighting men were slain , Three Kings within this Fight dyed , And forty Lords and Dukes beside , the like may never more be fought again . With Woeful Arms enfolding , Stukely stood beholding , this cursed Sacrafice of Men that Day . He SIGHING said I Wicked Wight , Against my Conscience here to FIGHT , and brought my Followers unto Decay , BEING thus sore vexed , And with Grief oppressed ; these brave Itallians that sold their Lands , Witd Stukely to Venture forth , And hazard Tife for nothing worth , upon him then did cast their cursed hands Unto Death thus Wounded , His Heart with sorrow swooned . unto them he made his moan , Thus have I left my Country Dear , To be in this manner murder'd here , even in this place where I am not known . My Wife I have much wronged , Of what to her belonged , I did consume in wicked course of life . What I had is past I see , And brings nought but grief to me , therefore grant me Pardon gentle Wife , Life I see consumeth , And Death I see presumeth , to change this Life of mine into a new . Yet this my greatest Comfort brings , I liv'd and dy'd in Love of Kings , and so bold Stukely bids the world adieu Stukely's Life thus ended , Was after Death befriended , and like a Soldier buried gallantly . Where now there stands upon the grave A stately Temple builded brave , with golden turrets piercing to the sky LONDON : Printed and Sold by L. How , in Petticoat-Lane .
