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).

London , Printed by Edward Crowch , dwelling on Snowhill . 1663. An Elegy upon Edward Dun Esquire , the Cities Common Hangman . COme New-gate Muse and let 's agree To antipothize an Elegie , And let each drop that dares to run From barren eyes fill twice three Tun , That so we may soon drown our fears , And deluge grief in her own tears : Let 's think but how he did the feat , And then conclude the loss is great . But oh ! it adds unto our dread , He di'd untimely in his bed . The valiant Souldier's loth to yeild To Death , except it be in Field ; And who is he that would not die According to his quality ? It was ( oh Death ! ) an unjust thing . Thou should'st deny him his own swing ; Sure , sure , thou hadst some great designe Or else thou'adst took him under-line ; How can our griefs be unreveal'd , When so much vertue di'd conceal'd ? Who does not hear how every stone In New-Gate cries . O hone , O hone , Whilst all the Pris'ners sadly run And cry , The Devil rides on Dun ? Nay more , each tender-hearted Louse , Belonging to that Mansion-house , Doe strive in Sable robes to crawl , Like Mourners to his Funeral . The noble Hemp its grief doth shew , And scorch'd with sorrow cannot grow ; The Ax , the Block , the Knife , in brief , Each Tool is rusty now with grief . One thing I had almost forgot , Tyburn with grief is grown a Sot ; And that which breeds her greatest harms , Is that he di'd not in her arms : He 's gone , she cries , that often stood More then knuckle deep in blood . Oh with what a dextrous art He would pull out a Traytor 's heart ! Never did Musick please him well , Except it were St. Pulchers Bell. I was his Altar and his Spouse To whom he often paid his vowes . The Altars of the Heathen Gods Were not so good as mine by ods ; Because their Priests were not so wise To offer Men for Sacrifice : But my brave Priest did plenty bring , Of such as murther'd their own King , He 'd offer them at my high Altar , And thought no incense like the Halter : But he is now quite void of breath , And had no incense at his Death . His EPITAPH . VNderneath this place doth lie The Miracle of Crueltie ; I le tell thee now I have begun , Then know , kinde Reader , all 's but Dun : FUNIS .
