Matutine pater , seu Jane libentius audis , Unde homines operum primos , vitaque labores Instituunt , ( sic Dis placitum ) tu Carminis esto Principium , — Horace .

A Pindarick ODE , ON New-Year's-Day , &c. I. BEHOLD , how all the Stars give way ; Behold , how the Revolving Sphere , Swells to bring forth the Sacred Day ; That ushers in the Mighty Year ; Whilst Ianus with his double Face Viewing the present Time and past , In strong Prophetick Fury sings , Our Nations Glory and our King 's . II. See England's Genius , like the dazling Sun , Proud of his Race , to our Horizon run To welcome that Coelestial Power , That of this Glorious Year begins the Happy Hour : A Year from whence shall Wonders come ; A Year to bafle France and Rome , And bound the dubious Fate of Warring Christendom . III. Move on with Fame , all ye Triumphant Days , To Britain's Honour , and to Caesar's Praise ; Let no short Hour of this Year 's bounded Time , Pass by without some Act sublime : Great WILLIAM , Champion of the Mighty States , And all the Princes the Confederates : Ploughs the Green Neptune , whilst to wast Him o'er , The Fates stand smiling on the Belgick Shoar : And now the Gallick Genius Trembles , How e'er she Pannick Fear dissembles ; To know the Mighty League , and view the Mighty Pow'r , So when the Persian Pride of old , Disdain'd their God the Sun , With Armies , and more powerful Gold , Did half the World o'er run , Brave Alexander chang'd their Scorn to Awe , And Came , and Fought , and Conquer'd like NASSAU . IV. Then welcome Wondrous Year , More Happy and Serene , Then any ever did appear , To bless Great Caesar and his Queen : May every Hour encrease their Fames ; Whilst Ecchoing Skies resound their Names . And when Unbounded Joy , and the Excess Of all that can be found in Humane Bliss , Fall on 'em , may each Year be still like this , Health , Fortune , Grandeur , Fame , and Victory , And Crowning all , a Life , long as Eternity . CHORUS . Come ye Sons of Great Apollo , Let your charming Consorts follow ; Sing of Triumph , sing of Beauty , Sing soft Ayres of Loyal Duty ; Give to Caesar's Royal Fair Songs of Ioy to Calm her Care ; Bid the less Auspicious Year Adieu , And give her joyful Welcomes to the New . FINIS .
