In nobilissimi, & magni Astrologi Encomium.

INtima sanguinei scrutatur pectora Tauri Agmine plebeo cinctus spect ante sacerdos, Imperium{que} suum est quoties argenteus alti Solis avis tendit Romana insignia bello. Augur cede viro, cede ô Geometria magno Astrologo, claroque Jovi summeque perito Ad sua multiplices deducere sydera morbos. Non Aesculapius talem cognoverit artem, Nedum Virgilius magnus, non Thessala Tempe Talem frugifera conspexit vertice doctum. Ex tripode haud quaquam sacro Grynaeus Apollo Verius ad sortem humanam dedit ore loquelas. Astra regunt morbos, morbi sacrantur avitis Planetis, veluti summis piacula sanctis. Aurea mundanis celebratur regula velis. Quis super atra silex jamjam casura cadentique Imminet assimilis, veniunt hic Circis ad antrum, Contenti rediere omnes.

H. Pratt. Generosus.
