[Diurnall Titans all reuiuing Carre]

The 10. of March, the Sunne enters into Aries, or the signe of the Ram.

March 10. Aries.

Diurnall Titans all reuiuing Carre,
Through all the heauens his progresse now he takes:

255

And now his glistering Raies he doth vnbarre:
And what his absence mard, his presence makes:
Now he begins dame Tellus face to parch,
With blustring Boreas & with Eurus breth,
Thicke clouds of dust in March, through ayre doth march,
And Plants dead seeming Re-reuiues from death.
Now at the heauy-headed horned Ram,
Æolus, Æthon, Phlegon, and Pyrois,
On sweet Ambrosya sweetly feede and cram,
And drinking Nectars gods carowsing iuice,
Thus yeerely, one and thirty daies at least,
In Aries Titan daines to be a guest.
