        or other place where it might easily be seene
        in Theaters, and Stages. And truly it is to be
        thought that this honorable cognizance had
        his beginning of the commemoration of that
        wonderfull starre, which conducted the wise
        men from the East, to the place where Christ
        was borne. Whither also those verses may be
        referred, otherwise dedicate by Virgill the
        sonne of Pollio, tho Iulius Caesar, concerning
        the commet which appeared after his death.
        Behold the starre of Dioneus Caesar,
        the star wherin the corns reioice their fils,
        And wherby eke the Grapes do take
        their die on shadie hils.
