A Pindarick ODE ON NEW-YEAR'S-DAY Perform'd by Vocal and Instrumental MUSICK Before Their Sacred Majesties K. WILLIAM AND Q. MARY Set by Dr. JOHN BLOW AND Written by THOMAS D'URFEY Matutine pater seu Jane libentius audis Vnde homines operum primos vitaque labores Instituunt sic Dis placitum tu Carminis esto Principium Horace LONDON Printed for Abel Roper at the Mitre near Temple-Bar in Fleet-Street 1691. 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 Janus 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 waft 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 NASSAV 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 Joy to Calm her Care Bid the less Auspicious Year Adieu And give her joyful Welcomes to the New FINIS
