Reproduction of 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).

Dec. 1682 FArewell , thou Bravest of the Great , Farewell , When Fame shall thy Unbiast Virtues tell ; Thy Match no History shall ever find , Thou Universal Favourite of Mankind ; Whilst Factions Boyl , whilst Bandying Parties clash , And meeting Tydes their angry Billows dash , Whilst Heat meets Heat , and thwarting Ferments Reign , Rupert alone , firm to Truths Golden mean Held his , even Souls miraculous Ballance right , The Countries Darling , yet the Courts delight ; Honour in Thee , united all Her Charms , In glories Race , in Battle and in Arms ; No fiercer Fires e're fill'd a Heroes Breast , In Peace thy mind a perfect Halcyon Nest , Where Manly Virtue kept Her Princely Throne , Yet so retir'd as if Her State were gone : A mind so firm , all irregular Heat , The restless Burning Feavour of the Great ; A mind where all Perfections mixt so well , The equal Glory of a Camp or Cell . When future Ages shall with Honour tell Things Dismall , that black Master-peice of Hell , The Royal Martyrs Wound , a Blow so great , Posterity shall start but to repeat : In the sad Tale , Great Ruperts Deeds shall come , And blossom on his Sacred Masters Tomb. No hand more Active , and no sharper Sword , The Throats of Englands Rebel Hydra gor'd ; And if in that lost day , when Fates dire Blow , Had destin'd Truth and Loyalties overthrow ; Inth ' Universal wrack , Great Rupert sunk , Whilst starting Fortune from his Bannors shrunk ; His Courage only swel'd his Sails too High , Till his great Soul onset his Victory : Our English Hannibal , like him , alone By his unmannaged Conquests overthrown . Whilst that mad Chandteer , with fury hurl'd , Ambition drives the Jehues of the World ; Whilst Ensignes fly , Drums beat , and Trumpets sound , Or Conquering Heroes are with Lawrells Crown'd , Fames deathless Book shall keep in Leaves of Brass , Proud Ruperts Name enroul'd till Times last Glass : Nor is thy Memory here only Crown'd , But lives in Arts , as well as Arms renown'd ; Thou Prideless Thunderer , that stoop'd so low , To force the very Bolts thy Arme should throw , Whilst the same Eyes Great Rupert did admire Shining in Fields , and sooty at the Fire : Perceiving thee advanced in Fields and Arms so far At once the Mars and Vulcan of the VVar , Till Dancing Cyclops shall thy praise repeat , And on their Anvils thy tun'd Glorys Beat.
