		In his laureate odes, Eusden is so blinded by the monarchical sun that the panegyric's concern for the national interest and the need to offer guidance to the monarch, passes him by.
		Eusden's majestic hyperbole is ridiculous partly because his "Song" attempts to graft the panegyric form on the lyric poem.
		Eusden was succeeded by Colley Cibber, whose laureate odes finally reduced the panegyric to a comic turn, the butt of satirists.

		Born in Yorkshire in 1688, Eusden was made Laureate in 1718, and remained so until his death in 1730.

		To read Eusden today, it would be necessary to burrow in the depths of the British Library, because it's unlikely much if any of Eusden's work is available anywhere else.
