Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on ref/target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

 Added xml:ids to pb elements using utilities/add_sig_ids_to_shows.xsl. Standardized renditions and fixed encoding. Transformed pb facs elements for EEBO-proquest transition. Collapsed element rendition using XSLT. Changed calendar value from "julian" to "julianSic" using XSLT. Publishe document. Standardized respStmts for JENS1, MCFI1, and HOLM3 and added TAKE1 as Junior Programmer. Eliminated fw from around Printer’s ornaments. Added XInclude for listPrefixDef in the header. Transformed the use of supplied and its reason attribute to conform with TEI Guidelines and our updated schema. Added global publicationStmt through XInclude. Eliminated superfluous catRef elements from the header. Put change elements inside revisionDesc into the correct (latest first) order. Added profileDesc containing document type information expressed in catRef elements. Changed lines to block elements and line breaks. Added mol:EEBO links. Corrected transcription. Deleted extraneous spaces at line ends. Changed note type="marginal" to label. Added printer’s ornaments to the forme work element. Added respStmt for each contributor. Converted @rend to @style, through XSLT transformation. Created file and added content Created page. A Pæan Triumphall. TO the vaste skies whilst shoutes and cries rebound, And buildings eccho with reuerberate sound, Strugling to thrust out of the peopled throng, Panting for breath flies our elaborate song. That time the day brake from her wonted guise, The Sunne in haste before his houre did rise, And draue the fleet-foote posting houres so fast, Which were afeard young Phaeton that was cast From his SiersI.e., Sire’s. Chariot, reobtain’d the Carre, To set the neighboring Elements at warre. But whilst sweete Zephyre gently spreads his wings, Curles the sleeke bosomes of th’enamoured springs. With Baulmie spices so perfumes each place, Breathing such odors in the mornings face, That the day seem’d all former daies to scorne, And (to compare it) euer should be borne. Saturne whose grim face clad in Icie haire, Thrust his bleake visage through the Northerne aire, That long had low’rd vpon the drouping spring, With Frosts, Hailes, Snowes and Tempests minacing, Suddenly calm’d, and his harsh rage resignes To smooth Fauonius and milde Libick windes, Whil’st Temples stand euen trembling as afeard, To see proud Pageants on their Arches reard Aboue their Turrets, whilest the concourse meete, Like boysterous tides in euery publike streete. Windowes of eyes, the houses scorn’d their glasse, On euery side their Maiesties should passe: Roomes with rich beauties furnished about, Arras but serues to hang the walles without. Who lou’d in works of ancient times to prie, Hangings compleate with curious Imagrie,  Glutting his eyes here liuely might behold, Faces whose numbers figures neuer told, Walling the houses, in whose seuerall eyes Ioye shewes it selfe in more varieties, Then be their mindes, the obiects that they see, Which are as various as their features bee. The hie-reard spires shake with the peoples crie, Bending their tops seeme wondring to espie Streets pau’d with heads, for such the numbers bee, The loftiest Tower no ground at all can see. Banners, Flags, Streamers, in such numbers borne, And stood so thick that one might soone haue sworne, Nature of late some noueltie had brought, Groaues leau’d with silke in curious manner wrought, Bearing such fruite th’ Atlantides did keepe, By that fierce Dragon that did neuer sleepe. When now approched glorUninked type in Folger Shakespeare Library copy filmed for EEBO.ious Maiestie, Vnder a gold-wrought sumptuous Canopie. Before him went his goodly glittering traine, Which though as late wash’d in a golden raine. All so embraudered that to those behold, Horses as men, seem’d to be made of Gold: With the faire Prince, in whom appear’d in glory, As in th’abridgement of some famous story, Eu’ry rare vertue of each famous King Since Norman VVilliams happie conquering: Where might be seene in his fresh blooming hopes, Henry the fifth leading his warlike troupes, When the proud French fell on that conquered land, As the full Corne before the labourers hand. Vshering so bright and Angellike a Queene, Whose gallant carridge had but Cynthia seene, She might haue learnd her siluer brow to beare, And to haue shin’d and sparckl’d in her spheare, Leading her Ladies on their milkie Steedes, With such aspect that each beholder feedes, As though the lights and beauties of the skies, Transcending dwelt and twinckled in their eies. Here might you see what passion wonder wrought, As it inuades the temper of the thought: One weepes for ioy, he laughs and claps his hands, Another still and looking sadly stands: Others that seemed to be moued lesse, Shew’d more then these in action could expresse. None ther’sI.e., None there is that. could iudge a witnesse of this sight, Whether of two did take the more delight, They that in triumph rode or they that stand, To view the pompe and glorie of the land, Each vnto other such reflection sent, Either so sumptuous, so magnificent: Nor are the duties that thy subiects owe, Only compriz’d in this externall show. For harts are heap’d with those innumered hoords, That tongues by vttrance cannot vent in words: Nor is it all Inuention here deuises, That thy hie worth and Maiestie comprizes, And we not last of those glad harts that proue, To shew our Soueraigne our vnspotted loue. The first a Maiors name worthely did grace, Marrying that title and Pretorian place, Was of our freedome, purchasing thereby That primate honor to our Liuery. Natiue our loue as needfull is our trade, By which no kingdome euer was decaide, To bring sleight gauds and womanish deuices, Of little vse and of excessiue prices. Good home-made things with trifles to suppresse, To feede luxurious riot, and excesse, Sound-Bullion is our subiect, whose sure rate Seal’d by his selfeworth, such the Goldsmiths state, Which peace and happie gouernment doth nourish, And with a kingdome doth both fade and florish. Natures perfection, that great wonder Gold, Of which the first note of our name we hold, Phœbus his God that triply doth implie, To medicen, Musicke, and sweete Poesie, To vs his hie diuinitie imparts, As he is knowne and glorified in Arts: For that inuention studie doth befit, That is the crowne and puritie of wit, What doth belong and’s proper to the muse, We of all other mysteries doe vse, Moulds and insculpturs framing by the head, Formes and proportions strangely varied. The lumpe as likes the workman best to frame, To wedge, to ingot, or what other name, That by the sight and knowledge of our trade, Into rich Plate, and Vtensils is made Within thy land, for ornament doth stay, Angels haue wings and fleeting still away, And by eschanging virtuously doth flie That cankerd, base, and idle Vsurie: For when the banck once subtilie is plac’d, Th’exacted vse comes hourely in so fast, That whil’st the lender on the borrower praies, Good and industrious facultie decaies. Foule Auarice that triple Dog of Hell, That when Ioues sonne emperiously did quell, And from his hand receiu’d that fatall wound, His poysoned foame he driu’ld on the ground, From which they say as in the earths despite, Did spring that black and poysoned Aconite: For they by fire that mettals vse to trie, And finde wise Natures secresies thereby, When they prepare industriously to shed Siluer, dispos’d adulteratly with lead, Proue this base Courser from the other fine, Being so cleere and aptly femenine, Steales from her purenes in his boystrous fixure, By the corruption of his earthly mixure, Which if Gold helping her infeebled might, As a kind brother in his sisters right, By him her spirit is perfect and compacted, Which that grosse body enuiously detracted. Conscience like Gold which Hell cannot intice, Nor winne from weake man by his auarice: Which if infus’d such vertue doth impart, As doth conforme and rectifie the hart. For as the Indians by experience know, That like a Tree it in the ground doth grow, And as it still approcheth to the day, His curled branches brauely doth display, Then in the bulke and body of the mine, More neat, contracted, rarifi’d, and fine: So truth from darknes spreading doth appeare, And shewes it selfe more luculent and cleere. Dunstan our Patron that religious man, (That great and famous Metropolitan, That in his time ascended by degrees, To VVorster, London, Canturburies Sees, That was in ancient Glastenbury bred, Foure Saxons raignes that liuing flourished, Whose deeds the world vnto this time containeth, And sainted in our Kalenders remaineth Gaue) what not time our Brotherhood denies, Ancient endowments and immunities: And for our station and our generall heape, Recides in Lombard or in goodly Cheape.
