86. On Scheltco, the Astrologer.

Scheltco, that saw the heavenly Squadrons rang'd
In a strange fashion, and their postures chang'd,
Pretended by those starry lights to see
That the Worlds end in Eighty Eight should be:
And so too thought the Spaniards, (as appeares)
That tooke their leave of it with brinish teares.
