fought indeed That hard it will be to know who shall speed Another there is much like to the same Betwixt the vngodly in liuing past shame This battaile and strife shall rise by three By Enuy Iealousie and ill Husbandry These be the Captaines that shall cause the fighting Brawling quarrelling scratching and biting But in the end by Sathan the Deuill Women shall haue the victory with the foule euill Of Inundations and Floods YEE shall vnderstand by Couetous deuise Water shall breake their bounds and arise Into many Ale-fats and Beere-fats indeed Besides Tunnes and Tubs and Barrels for need And into Milke-pots Creame-pots and other Wine-pots nor pottage-pots shall escape neither Except good Conscience put in his foote We may curse Couetous to the heart roote We are like to haue this yeare for a truth Small drinke and watry which is great ruth Thin Milke thin Creame and thin pottage thereto If all Bookes agree as some other doe The rayne in like manner shall keepe him aloft The winde is not able to bid him soft So that there shall raine in very great routs Many Beggers and Bawdes Sluts Slouins and Louts Whoores Thieues and sluggerds proude Parrats and pyes With a sort of fine shrewes or else the booke lyes Beside the twenty fiue orders of Knaues Rogues and Ruffians and paliardly slaues Of them that be borne vnder the Planets BVt now to treate of the Planets seauen I finde not by them what is done in Heauen The most that I know of them in this case Is that they neuer stand still in one place But vnder them many mad thinges be wrought And God aboue knowes euery mans thought By Aquarius I finde this yeere Brewers shall put too much liquor in their Beere And Vintners also will not swerue in fine For mingling and mixing water 'mongst Wine Couetous men shall be in such a fury That he that lacketh money can not be merry Which shall engender such a burning heate That many shall couet thinges they cannot get Vsurers shall be in such a rage That olde people shall dote for age Therefore when the Sunne is in Capricorne Then shall not the Euentide be the Morne But when into Aries entred is the Moone Then iust at midday shall be high Noone Whereby it appeareth as a plaine matter Most men thinkes wine is better then water But the foure windes neuer agreed worse For except each body shut well his Purse One shall not afore blowe such a blast But another behinde shall blowe out as fast Thus Touche la maine fait a bon chere When ye are gone then are ye not here Now that ye may know them in especiall We will speake of them in generall Of the Saturnistes VVHere Saturnus is chiefe dominator No foole this yeare shall be a good Orator Mercurie combust sheweth a cause why A foole he was borne and a foole he shall dye It should seeme also by Ptolomeus text Such as dye this yeare shall not dye the next For the Coniunction of Luna and Sol Will make in England many a drunken noll If Venus to Mercurie make her aspect Many sicke folke will be infect That people shall dote for age that be olde And such as be burned shall not die for colde But whether the people doe better or worse Saturne I suppose will keepe his owne course And he would men should rather ride then goe But I say hastie men shall neuer want woe For if that all men did vse for to ride It should greatly hinder Graues-end tide If the Sunne be vp men shall see it shine In all quarters except they be blinde And although that Cloudes doe couer his beates Yet may Oyster-boates come vpon Thames Of the Iouistes BEcause of Iupiter it doth appeare That each man would gladly prosper this yeare But Saturne and Pisces declareth againe That some shall attempt many things in vaine Church-men shall prosper and haue good lucke Because they are willing to goe to their booke Whose good deuotion shall be so seruent They shall haue no power to refuse preferment Bishops and Prelates shall doe very well If they take paines to preach the Gospell And if they truly declare the letter I trust they shall prosper much the better As for Archdeacon Prouost and Deane Will take fat Benefices rather then leane But as for other Priests euery one Will take three Benefices rather then none Sauing that Aries putteth out of doubt That such as can get none must goe without And after they haue this life once forsake They will no more worldly promotion take Iudges and Lawyers and other Officers Shall doe as they haue done other yeeres Except they feede them with gold and groates The men of Law shall haue sore throates And their tongues I warrant you shall be lame Wherefore Libra must your matter frame Of the Marcialists MARS is the God of battaile and strife That doth he feele that hath a curst wife Therefore good Warriers that to the field doe goe Shall giue or take blowes if they come thereto They shall not shrinke for winde and raine But for the Princes cause gladly take paine To doe their King and Countrey good They will be ready to spend their heart blood Schollers with their Maisters will make many a fray But the Boyes will beare the stripes away I finde by the aspect of Mars and Virgo Some Dames shall worke their Maydens woe For Sol and Luna shall shine so bright That they shall finde faults both day and night And Saturne in his sircle sheweth plaine That Maydes ere they mend one fault will make twaine Great death of Innocents Mars doth intend That neuer did speake ill word or offend Which is to declare without long preambles I doe remit you to the Shambles Of the Solistes ALL matters that are wrought vnder the Sunne Shall end the better if they be well begun For the Sunne this yeare by Gods might and grace Shall shine and giue light in many a place The day shall be longer if men be in heale In Sommer then in Winter by a great deale Yet Albumazar saith full like a Clarke When the Sunne is gone downe it will be darke The blinde men this yeare by helpe of the Moone Shall see as well at midnight as at noone Kings Princes and Lords of might This yeare shall see the Sunne giue light Except the Cloudes couer his beames Or else it shall shine in all Christian Realmes Of the Children of Venus VEnus in the Eclips declareth newes That few honest women shall dwell in the Stewes Therefore who this yeare loueth in hast May hap to repent ere the yeare be past For Venus and Sol are inclined to heate So Stockfish is not toothsome except it be beate Crafty men this yeare shall be very subtill And so shall many women be fraile and brittle Louers shall burne in heate for Larkes But one thing shall happen whosoeuer markes That men in many places if they hit rightly Shall fall in
