Blunden, William. 1 sheet ([1] p.) for Thomas Lambert at the sign of the Hors-shoo in Smithfield, Printed at London : [1636?] Verse - "All you which lay clame,". Signed at end: W.B., i.e. William Blunden. In two parts; woodcuts at head of each part. Reproductions of the original in 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).

To the tune of Drive the Cold winter away . ALL you which lay clame , To a good fellowes name , and yet doe not proue your selues so , Give eare to this thing , The which I will sing , wherein I most plainly will show With proofe and good ground , Those fellowes profound , that vnto the Alewiues are true , In drinking their drinke , And paying their chinke , O such a good fellow 's true blew , But otherwise bée , That brabling will be , about any trifle to pay , When that he doth know He so much doth owe , yet basely will shrinke his way , Or bring the summe lesse , Disparaging guesse , which willing would pay al that 's due , His Company I , Detest and defie , Because that he is not true blew . Somes Chaps are so nimble , They 'l sit and lick the wimble , but when that the Reckning's to pay , Away they will sneake , And not a word speake , all which is approued each day , The which hauing séene , Doth draw me with spléene , to lay open vnto your view . The honest good fellow , Who though hée bée mellow , In every kind is true blew . He 's of the right mould , That spares not his gold , Amongst those good fellowes that lack , If that they will drinke , he 'l part with his Chinke , and lookes not for any on 't back , But is well content , His money is spent , among such a iouiall Crew , And these are the parts , And chéefest desarts , That showes a good fellow true blew . Such difference I Doe daily discry , amongst the Conditions of men , Some given are to fight , Some in singing delight , pray what shall be censured then , Why truely my mind , To him is inclinde , by whom vnto mirth I am drew . For much I doe hate , He that breedeth debate , But giue me a fellow true blew , There 's some of that mind , When that they doe find a man that is iouiall and frée , They 'l drinke and they 'l call , But he must pay all , or else undischarg'd it must be . Once being seru'd so , No more will I goe , into such a frivilous Crew , And so I 'le aduise All those that are wise , Because that they are not true blew .
