Epig. 8. Of Sillius.

Sillius , himselfe doth to the Starres apply,
And saies, they are the Book of Destiny,
List he to ride in's Coach but to Mile-End
By the Almanack he doth the houre attend.

From calculation of's Nativity
He fetches, but at this I wonder much,
How he should break his neck, whose skill was such.
