A PINDARICK Congratulatory Poem To the Right Honourable George Lord Ieffreys BARON of WEM AND Lord High Chancellor c. Stanz I. A Rise my Muse now take a loftier Flight Toward Heaven thy dareing Pinions try There on the Sun fix Thou thine Eagle Sight The Object 's Good altho' 't is High And He who sits to JAMES so nigh Tho' Just He be in Mercy must delight This * Octob. 5. Day all Cambridge did conspire To Praise those Glories We admire Be that my single Task which pleas'd that learned Quire This Day our Sacred Body all conven'd Where Loyalty and Knowledge do preside Decreed to honour Mighty Caesar's Friend The Muses Glory and Astraea's Pride To Him their humble Complements they send Tho' sorry all their Art 's too low The heights of his just Eminence to show Much less with Equal Praise his Virtues to commend Virtues as far beyond his High Degree As Him above our selves we see The Prop whereon Justice and Law do trust Rais'd up aloft by JAMES the Just By JAMES of whom with Pride Apollo sings The best of Friends of Brothers and of Kings II. Now those if such there still can be Black Rebells in the worst degree Who dare distrust Great Prince thy Royal Word May plainly see If they can e're be wrought on to Repent By this vast Instance which thou dost afford That 't is thy firm intent T' uphold the Government And thenceforth acquiesce in thy Just Laws and Thee Since Him whom Factious Noise could never Awe Nor Fear nor Hope from Rules of Justice draw Since Him Thou 'st made the Oracle of England's Law Great Jeffreys yet not half so Great as Good How little was thy Worth once understood How lay it unreveal'd Like a rich Gemm in dirty Mines conceal'd When by the Mobile so much abus'd Or rather then How was thy Virtue known And dreaded by the Vice-empoison'd Town Who Thee as sinful Jews the Saviour once refus'd III. But CHARLES whose Memory still shall live While Pen or Verse a Name can give Receiv'd Thee in His more propitious Armes Where thy late-blessed Honor thriv'd amain It s former Grace did quickly re-obtain Encircled round with sweet endearing Charmes And Crown'd with awfull Love again So look'd Astraea Reverend and Severe Tho' to the wiser Gods as Mercy Dear And thus while in thy brighter Soul there stood The Heavenly Form of all that 's Just and Good It 's Beauties God-like JAMES beheld For Virtue best can Virtue 's Beauties find And straight with Love Divine His Bosom swell'd Only such perfect Forms affect so Great a Mind Then to Her Seat the Goddess He restor'd And arm'd Her with a Whig-confounding Sword Gave Her a Champion by Her side Of Conduct and of Courage try'd To Jeffrey's Care commended His dear Law And bad him guard Her as the Soul Which Monarchy it self doth actuate Which only can Sedition's Powers controul And Faction's Fury awe And render Calm a Rough tempestuous State Thus was Life's sacred Tree of old Committed to a Guardian Angel's Care Who still a flaming Sword did hold Lest Rebell Adam's Race should dare T' invade those Blissful Limits where The World 's Great Monarch set his Plant of Gold Thrice happy IAMES whose First Year's Reign Hath brought Astraea back to Earth again IV. Surely Great SIR when late Posterity Shall hear the sound of thy Renown and Thee Tho' much thine Eloquence they will admire And Loyalty by which the Good aspire Tho' much thy wondrous Judgment they will praise And Love to Learning rare in these our Days Tho' much thine Equity they must commend Tho' much thy scorn of Hopes or Fears Great Virtues purchas'd in few Years Yet this I 'm sure will prove The greatest Praise thy Glorious Soul can love ' Cause this doth all the others comprehend When they shall say Wise JAMES was Jeffrey 's Friend And if from Gods and Kings we dare Pretend to Merit when they bounteous are Surely with Charms of Service Thou did'st bind Thy Mighty Master's generous Mind And as it were oblige Him to be Kind Or rather ' cause He 's Just and knew That Thou Great Jeffreys wast so too He judg'd thee Worthy of a Monarch's Love And like a Prince did by His bounty prove What high Esteem in Him thy Worth did raise When meaner Souls the scandal of our Days Repay Desert only with empty Praise V. Nor do we only love Thee now For Mighty Caesar's sake But all the Land thy Praise doth speak Oblig'd on't's own account and humbly low To Her Deliverer's honour'd Name shall bow Well did thy wisely-pruning Hand Lop off those Suckers of the Western Land That once design'd to draw away The Vital Sap of Britain's Royal Tree Whose Prosp'rous Strength 's the only stay Of Government Religion Equity On whose firm Branches Three Great Crowns do stand Henceforth All Loyal Men And Heaven and Earth sing an Amen! The Root of Monarchy is fixt more sure More wide the lovely Branches spread And up to Heaven advance their aweful Head Nor can the Thunders e're their hurt procure Since they the Thund'rers Glory do secure Nor shall they fear the touch of Light'nings Blast ' Gainst Rebell Winds and Storms they shall endure And an adored Oak of Trophies last Till Jeffreys 's Fame's asleep and Time it self be past FINIS
