[Thus Luna's brother lower doth descend]
The eleuenth of Nouember, the Sunne enters into Sagitarius, Or the Archer.
Sagitarius. Nouember.
Thus
Luna's brother lower doth descend,
And at the Archer rests his radient Waine,
Now winters bitter blasting stormes contend,
T'assault our hemespheare, with might and maine,
The fields and trees disrobed all againe,
Starke naked strip'd of hearbs, of flowres, of fruits,
And now the Lord, the Lowne, the Sir, the Swaine,
Against the freeze, of Freeze make winter suites.
Now chirping birds are all turn'd tounglesse mutes;
And Shepheards swaines to sheephouse driue their sheep.
Not controuersies now are in disputes
At Westminster, where such a coyle they keepe;
Where man doth man within the Law betosse,
Till some go croslesse home by Woodcocks Crosse.
