TH'ASTRONOMER, by night beheld the starres to shine: And what should chaunce an other yeare, began for to deuine. But while too longe in skyes, the curious foole did dwell, As hee was marchinge through the shade, he slipt into a well. Then crying out for helpe, had frendes at hand, by chaunce; And nowe his perill being past; they thus at him doe glaunce. What foolishe art is this? (quoth they) thou hould'st so deare, That doth forshowe the perilles farre: but not the daungers neare. Saturnus procul est, Iámque olim caecus, vt aiunt, Nec propè discernens à puero lapidem: Luna verecundis formosa incedit ocellis, Nec nisi virgineum virgo videre potest: Iupiter Europam, Martem Venus, & Venerem Mars, Daphnen Sol, Hersen Mercurius recolit: Hinc factum, Astrologe, est, tua cùm capit vxor amantes, Sidera significent vt nihil inde tibi. Morus in Epig.
