The Minor Poems of John Lydgate | ||
The Dysposicion of the .vij. planettes.
S]aturne disposeþ a man to melancoly,Iubiter reyseþ man to gret nobles,
And sturdy Mars to stryfe werre & enuy,
Phebus to wysdom & to hygh prowes,
Mercurius to be changeable & dowbylnes,
The moone mutable, now glad, & now drypyng,
And Gere Venus, full of new fangylnes,
Makyn men vnstable here in her lyuyng.
Explicit.
