[Of all the Innes where Sol doth vse to lie]
The 12. of Iune the Sunne enters into Cancer or the Crabbe.
Cancer. Iune.
Of all the Innes where Sol doth vse to lie,
With crabbed Cancer none may make cōpare:
It is the highest in the loftie skie,
All other signes to it inferiour are.
When Sol is once ascended and come there:
He scalds and scorches with his heauenly heate:
Makes fields of grasse, and flowrie medowes bare,
And though the idle worke not, yet they sweate,
Thus like an all-commanding Lord he swaies,
High mounted in his chiefe Solstician pride:
For when the Cancer hee immures his raies,
Vnto the height his glorie's amplifide.
And when he goes from thence, he doth beginne
By shorter Iourneyes to attaine his Inne.
