1. Of the Lunar Cycle, commonly called the Golden Number.
Meton (th' Athenian) first this Cycle found,
Which Nineteen civil years devolveth round:
For all Lunations make return therein,
Nigh to the Place where first they did begin.
To find it, add One to the year of Christ,
(For when his Star appeared in the East,
That was the Prime) then by Nineteen divide
The Aggregate, and what remains beside
Resolves the doubt; The Quotient doth declare
How many Periods revolved are:
But when (Division made) there leaveth nought,
Nineteen it selfe's the Golden Number sought.
