To the same at his Returne (Welcome to us, as is the Morning lay)

Welcome to us, as is the Morning lay
Of the rais'd Larke, (glad Ushex of the Day)
To wearied Watch-men: for our duller hearts
Scarce leapt from sorrow since you left our parts:
But when their livelyer palpitation told
Your neare approach, scarce could our heart-strings hold
Our gladnesse. This Vlyssean course of yours
Us of your worthier qualities assures,
Whose Knowledge is (no doubt) by travaile so
Improv'd, that still you will beyond us goe.
