[The worlds eye daz'ler in his fiery race]
The thirteenth of Iuly the Sunne enters into Leo, or the Lion.
Leo. Iuly.
The worlds eye daz'ler in his fiery race,
Doth at the Lyon lodge his vntam'd Steeds:
256
To shew Dame Tellus, procreatiue seeds.
For as from man, mans generation breeds,
So by manuring of our Grandam Earth,
Are brought forth fruits, & flowres, and hearbs, and weeds,
To shield ingratefull man from pining dearth.
The dogged dog daies now with heat doe swelt,
And now's the season, of th'vnseasn'd aire:
When burning feauers make the patient melt,
Whose heat the Doctors hardly can repaire:
For why, these currish daies are fatall still,
And where they chance to bite, they vse to kill.
