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).

COme follow me my wandring mates , Sonnes and daughters of the Fates : Friends of night , that oft haue done homage to the horned Moone . Fairely march , and shun not light , With such stars as these made bright . Yet bend you low your curled tops , Touch the hallowed earth , and then rise a - gen With anticke hops vnus'd of men . Here no danger is nor feare , For true Ho-nour harbours here , Whom Grace attends . Grace can make our foes our friends . V. A Ballad . DIDO was the Carthage Queene , And lou'd the Troian Knight , That wandring ma-ny coasts had seene , And many a dreadfull fight : As they on hunting road , a showe Draue them in a louing hower , Downe to a darkesome eaue : Where Ae-neas with his charmes , Lockt Queen Dido in his armes , And had what hee could haue . 2 Dido Hymens Rites forgot , Her loue was wing'd with haste : Her honour shee considered not , But in her breast him plac't . And when her loue was new begunne , Ioue sent downe his winged Sonne , To fright Aeneas sleepe : Bad him by the breake of day From Queene Dido steale away : Which made her waile and weepe . 3 Dido wept , but what of this ? The Gods would haue it so : Aeneas nothing did amisse , For hee was forc't to goe . Learne Lordings then no faith to keepe With your Loues , but let them weepe ; 'T is folly to be true : Let this Story serue your turne , And let twenty Didoes burne , So you get daily new . VI. The Dance . ROBIN is a louely Lad , No Lasse a smo - ther euer had . TOmmy hath a looke as bright , As is the ro - sie morning light . TIB is darke and browne of hue , But like her colour firme and true . GInny hath a lip to kisse , Where - in a spring of Nectar is . SImkin well his mirth can place and words to win a womans grace . SIB is all in all to me , There is no Queene of Loue but she . VI. All. Let vs in a louers round , Circle all this hallowed ground . Softly , softly , trip and goe ; trip and goe , The light foot Fairies iet it so , iet it so . Forward then , Forward then , and backe againe , and backe againe ; Here and there , and euery where , and euery where ; Winding to and winding fro ; skipping hye , and lowting low . Chorus . And like louers hand in hand march a Chorus . round , march a round , and make a stand . VII . A Song .

O Stay ! sweet is the least delay , When parting forceth mourning . Oh Ioy ! too soone thy flowers de - cay : From Rose to Bryer retur - ning . Bright beames that now shine here , when you are parted , All will be dimme , all will be dumbe , and euery breast sad hear - ted . Yet more , for true loue may presume , if it exceede not measure . O Griefe ! that blest houres soone consume , But ioylesse passe at lea . sure . Since wee this light must loose , our loue expressing : Farre may it shine , Long may it liue , to all a publique bles - sing , to all a publique bles - sing . 1 O stay ! sweet is the least delay , When parting forceth mourning : O Ioy ! too soone thy flowers decay .

WElcome is the word , The best loue can af - ford : For what can better be ? Welcome Lords , the time drawes neare , When each one shall embrace his deare , And view the face hee longs to see . Absence makes the houre more sweet , When diuided louers meet . Welcome once againe , Though too much were in vaine : Yet how can loue exceed ? Princely Guests wee wish there were Ioues Nectar and Ambrosia here , That you might like immortals feed ; Changing shapes like full-fed Ioue ; In the sweet pursuit of loue . FINIS .
