Place and date of publication suggested by Wing. Reproduction of originals in the Harvard University, Houghton Library and the British Library. 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).

Being a most pleasant and Delightful New Song . In blest Arcadia , where each Shepherd feeds His numerous Flocks , and tunes on slender Reeds ; His song of Love , while the fair nymphs trip round , The chief amongst 'um was young Jemmy found : For he with glances could enslave each heart , But fond Ambition made him to depart The Fields to Court , led on by such as sought To blast his Vertues which much sorrow brought To a pleasant New Play-house Tune . Or , In Ianuary last , Or , The Gowlin . YOung Jemmy was a Lad , of Royal birth and Breeding : With every Beauty clad , and every Swain exceeding . A face and shape so wonderous fine , so charming every part : That every Lass upon the Green , for Jemmy had a heart . In Jemmy's powerfull Eyes young Gods of Love are playing , And on his face there lies a thousand smiles betraying : But O he dances with a grace , none like him e're was seen : No God that ever fancied was , had so divine a meen . To Jemmy every Swain did lowly deft his Bonnet : And every Lass did strain , to praise him in her Sonnet : The pride of all the Youths he was , the Glory of the Groves : The pleasure of each tender Lass , and theme of all their Loves . BVt Oh unlucky fate , ah Curse upon Ambition : The busie Fops of State , have ruin'd his condition : For glittering hope he left his shade , his glorious hours are gone : By flattering Fools and Knaves betray'd , poor Jemmy is undone . Then Jemmy none more kind , and courteous had been ever : Thinking the like to find , but he as yet did never : For the false Swains that led him forth to expectations high : Design'd but to Eclipse his worth , brave Jemmy to out-vye . But Jemmy saw not this , when in the Groves delighting , Nor thought to tread amiss , at such a fair inviting : But Jemmy was mistaken there , for he wasted astray ; Whilst each kind Swain and Nymph so fair , for Jemmy sigh'd all day . For Jemmy's loss the streams ran hoarse , as if with mourning ; The birds forgat their Leams and Flowers so late adorning . The pleasant Plains hung down their heads as bearing part o' ch grief , And wishing he had longer staid , but Jemmy'd no belief . For Jemmy's strutting veins , with youthful blood were flowing , Which made him raise his strains , to his almost undoing . Though each kind Villager did pray he would again return : And tread still in the pleasant Way , but Jemmy it did scorn . For jemmy in fierce Arms , more then his Crook delighting : Dispis'd the Wood-Nymphs charms , that were so much inviting . And dreams of digging Trenches deep , storming each Fort and Town ; Ambition still disturb'd his sleep , whilst jemmy sought renown . But jemmy now may see , that he was led to ruin , By such as glad would be of his utter undoing . Yet that his Wandring he 'd retrive , the wish is of the Swains : And in Arcadia happy live , where his great Father reigns . FINIS . Printed for P. Brooksby , at the Golden-ball in West-smithfields
