A Pastoral Copy presented to His MAJESTY at CAMBRIDGE , by a Nobleman of that VNIVERSITY . HAIL , mighty PAN ! what Present shall we pay To your Auspicious Deity to day ? We are the meanest of your rustick Swains ; And have no other Palace but our Plains . Untaught in Courtly Galantry we come To give the entertainment of our home . Part of the poor increase our fortunes have , And that besides , your kind indulgence gave . Those bashful Nymphs , our Muses , blush to see , A Train so gay attend your Deity . Whilst they clad in their home-spun stuff scarce dare Look on the great procession , though from far . With what a trembling reverence their hands Cull all the choicest flow'rs that grace the Lands , To bind your brows with such an Ornament , As all their Artless consults cou'd invent ! 'T is you , Great Sir , that gives us peaceful days . One smile from you revives our dying Bays : For when th' appearing Bustles of the State Seem'd to disturb our Studies , as of late , Under the spreading umbrage of your Oak We sate securely from the Thunder-stroak . But now the pow'rful glory of your Crown Has forc't the fond aspiring Vapours down ; Has banish't all the thickning mists afar , And once again has clear'd the troubl'd Air. Now in the kinder Sun-shine of your Reign , We 'l bask our selves , and feel new life again . We 'l dedicate Solemnities to you , And all our ancient harmless sports renew . Upon the banks of aged Cam we 'l sit , Whilst some kind covert , shades us from the heat . There on our Reeds we 'l pipe unto the Groves , And make the watry Nymphs forget their Loves . The Current shall with gentle murmurs run , And pleased at its calm , smile on the Sun . The gentle Gales shall in soft Breezes sing , Amongst the listning Trees , God bless the King .
