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 <gap>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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.

The Life and Death of the Famous THOMAS STUKELY: An Engliſh Gallant in time of Queen Elizabeth, who ended his Life in a Battel three Kings of Barbary. Tune is, King Henry's going to Bulloign, &c.

IN the Weſt of England, born there was, I underſtand, a famous Gallant was he in his days, By birth, a wealthy Clothier's ſon, Deeds of wonders he hath done, to purchaſe him a long and laſting praiſe. If I would tell his ſtory, Pride was all his glory, and Luſty Stukely, he was call'd in Court, He ſerv'd a Biſhop in the weſt, And did accompany the beſt, maintaining of himſelf to gallant ſort. Being thus eſteemed, And every where well deemed, he gain'd the favour of a London Dame, Daughter to an Alderman, Curties ſhe was called then, to whom a ſuitor gallantly he came, When ſhe his perſon ſpyed, He could not be denyed, ſo brave a Gentleman he was to ſee; She was quickly made his wife, In weal or woe to lead her life; her Father willing; thereto did agree. Thus in ſtate and leaſure, Full many days they meaſure, till cruel Death with his regardleſs ſpight, Bore old Curtis to the grave, A thing that Stukely wiſht to have, that he might revel all in gold ſo bright. He was no ſooner tombed, but Stukely he preſumed, to ſpend a hundred pound a day in waſte; The greateſt Gallants in the land Had Stukely's purſe at their command, thus merrily the time away he paſt. Taverns and Ordinaries, Were his chief braveries, golden angels there flew up and down; Ryots were his beſt delight, With ſtately feaſting day and night, in Court and City thus he won renown. Thus waſting lands and living, By this lawleſs giving, at length he ſold the pavements of the yard, which cover'd were with blocks of tin, Old Curtis left the ſame to him, which he conſumed lately as you have heard. Whereat his wife ſore grieved, Deſiring to be relieved. 'Make much of me dear husband, ſhe did ſay. 'i'll make much more of thee (ſaid he) 'Than any one ſhall verily, 'i'll ſell thy cloaths, and ſo i'll go my way. Truly thus hard hearted Away from her he parted, and travell'd into Italy with ſpeed; There he flouriſht many a day, In his ſilks and rich array, and did the pleaſures of a Lady feed, It was the Lady's pleaſure, To give him goods and treaſure, for to maintain him in great pomp and fame; At laſt came news aſſuredly, Of a fought battel in Barbary, and he would valiantly go ſee the ſame. Many a Noble Gallant. Sold both land and talent to fallow Stukely in his famous fight; Whereas three Kings in perſon would Adventurouſly with courage bold, within this battel ſhew themſelves in fight. Stukely, and his followers all Of the King of Portugal, had entertainment like to Gentlemen; The King affected Stukely ſo, That he his Sacrets all did know, and boar his royal ſtandard now and then. Upon this day of honour, Each man did ſhew his banner, Morocco, and the King of Barbary: Portugal, and all his train, Bravely glittering on the plain, and gave the on • ct there moſt valiantly. The Cannons they rebounded, Thundring Guns relounded, Kill, kill, then was all the Souldiers cry; Mangled men lay on the ground, And with blood the earth was drown'd, the Sun likewiſe was darkned in the Sky. Heaven was ſo diſpleaſed, And would not be appeaſed, but tokens of God's wrath did ſhow, That he was angry at this war, He ſent a fearful blazing-ſtar, whereby the Kings might their misfortunes know. Bloody was the ſlaughter, Or rather wilful murder, where ſix ſcore thouſand fighting men were ſlain: Three Kings within this Battle dy'd, with forty Dukes and Earls beſide, the like will never more be fought again. With woful arms infolding, Stukely ſtood beholding this bloody ſacrifice of Souls that day: He ſinging ſaid, 'I woful wight, 'Againſt my Conſcience here do fight, 'and brought my followers unto decay. Being thus moleſted And with grief oppreſſed, thoſe brrave Italians that did ſell their lands, With Stukely for to Travel forth, And venture life for little worth, upon him all did lay their murdering hands. Unto death thus wounded His heart with ſorrow ſwounded: and to them thus he made his heavy moan, Thus have I left my Country dear, To be ſo vilely murthered here. e'en in this place whereas I am not known. My Wife I have much wronged Of what to her belonged, I vainly ſpent in idle courſe of life; Whaat I have had is paſt I ſee, And bringeth nought but grief to me, therefore grant me pardon gentle Wife. Life I ſee conſumeth, And death I ſee preſumeth, to change this life of mine into a new: Yet this my greateſt comfort brings, I liv'd and dy'd in love of Kings: and ſo brave Stukely bids the world adiu. Stukely's life thus ended, Was after death befriended, and like a Souldier buried gallantly: Where now there ſtands upon the Grave, A ſtately Temple builded brave, with Golden Turrets pierſiing to the Sky.
