A Pandarique Ode ON THE Vice-Chancelor's RETURN TO OXON . BEfore the early Sun can raise his Head , Out of his Glorious Eastern Bed ; Each Persian seems with mournful eyes To Beg , he would no longer stay ; And in Imagination flies , At least , to Complement him half the way . No less Ambitious for your sight , were we , E're since your Grateful Mercury Warn'd us that happy Day drew nigh , That would our long-lost Joys restore , Joys ev'n so Transcendent high ; Fates could not give , nor could we covet more . Who can compute how much to Heav'n we owe , For those great Gifts it doth bestow ! Yet we , alas ! small Thanks express , But should it stop that Influence , Oh! then we Prostrate would confess , We had our Life , and Growth , and Vigour thence . Thus now , your Absence taught us one thing more , Then e're your Presence could before ; Continu'd Blessings made us grow So Stupid , that we could not tell , Whence , how , or wherefore they did flow ; But loosing you , we soon perceiv'd it well . Soon we perceiv'd 't was you that mov'd this Sphear , And order'd our Will-Motions here : What other Atlas should we find , For such a weighty Office meet ? Could Fortune stoop your gen'rous mind , To stoop to Honours lying at your Feet : But Her weak Stratagems successless prove , For nought can your great Spirit move ; Oh strange Praepostrous Method ! You , Against your self must Int'rest use , T'avoid what others most pursue , And what they Court so bravely to refuse ! Welcom'd by all , and wish'd for , you are come , As Conqu'ring Caesar enter'd Rome : But we 'l a double welcome give , And our vow'd Garlands gladly pay , And with deserv'd ' Encomiums , strive , To Celebrate the Glory of this Day . FINIS .
