shew their faces By Venus and Virgo it appeareth plaine That enuious persons shall be full of disdaine Great trees shall fall downe out of doubt If they be hewen downe or pluckt vp by the roote Corne shall not be reaped but where it is sowne Hay is no Hay except it be mowne Flowers on the earth and fruit on the trees Geese Capons Duckes Hennes nor Bees The tempest this yeere may chaunce not bite If wiues keepe their Chickens from the Kite But now the nature of each moneth to showe In a generall rule here shall ye know Sometime perchance the winde shall blow Sometime it shall be calme and still I trow Sometime the Sunne shine raine haile and snow And sometime in the Ayre perchance a rainbowe Sometime a cloud or mist sometime cleare aire Sometime foule weather and sometime faire In euery moneth of the yeare throughout One or other of these shall happen out of doubt Sauing I gather by one signe or other Little Snow or none shall fall at Midsommer Sauing also this yeere Capricorne Biddeth some folkes to beware the horne For if Mars and Taurus in one circle meete The Moone may hap to shine in Watling streete Then the Cocke crew and then it was day The Bullock broke loose and the rope ranne away Of dearth and scarcity BY the operation of them before said The diligent working of the starres well wayed This yeere shall be plenty and good cheape of Flies Of trifles for women of gaudes and of lyes Also great plenty of hunger and colde Nakednesse wearinesse small thrift of olde Harbourlesse Idlenesse Pride and Nicenesse Shall be seene in many that vse much precisenesse Little worke losse of time scoffing and mocking Plenty of quarrelling and of Gamesters flocking Purse-picking robbing murther and hanging Debt and slow payment pledging and selling Little trust ill will vsurie and pilling With dispossessing briberie and polling Shall raigne this yeare in euery quarter He shall know more that comes hereafter Also by the enticement and working of Sathan This yeare shall be scarcenesse deny this who can The want of good liuing grace and mercy Of loue and true faith of peace and of pitty Of friendship of ioy of truth and of concords Of neighbourhood wealth of good works in Landlords Of visiting the sicke the prisoner and lame The blinde deafe and dumb and the Lepers by name Of fatherlesse and strangers small hospitality Of almes of good counsell of iustice and equality Of newnesse of life and reconciliation Of holinesse forgiuing and restauration Of righteousnesse and the true seruing of God I doubt all vertues and these are all odd Money with many this yeare shall be dainty But they shall lack nothing that haue great plenty Therefore who so hath spent their thrift in waste By the course of stars they shall haue leaue to fast For Iupiter shewes in the ascendent That nought is left when all is spent Yet is not that much against Ptolomea That there shall be store of water in the Sea And I finde by Ptolomeus Almegests That many loue well to goe to good feasts But such as can get neither bread nor meate Shall be full hungry when they would faine eate Yet some through hunger shall not looke so pale But others shall looke as red with good Ale Now because rich men haue store of money Gall is not all thing so sweet as Honey Good sayings and doings shall be deere For charity is laid vp till another yeere And if it be true that I haue heard tolde Malice is feruent and charity colde But there shall be plenty I dare well say Of showers in Aprill and flowers in May Yet Libra in her Equilibri pendent Sheweth that for default of Argent Many will be slacke to pay their rent Wherefore of their Landlords they shall be shent Some-where there shall be so hote rost That such as come late must kisse the post And some-wher e shall be such plenty of Fish That some shall be faine to licke the dish Priests of their Tithes shall be loath to want And Latine among them shall be very scant For scarce one among tenne on a cluster Shall be able to conster their Pater noster Such as haue enough shall haue more still And such as nought haue shall want their will As for Corne and victuall I put no doubt Shall be plenty and good all England throughout Except the great Snudges cause a dearth For neuer was there fairer seene on earth And because that Fishmongers pare their Fish Ye shall haue of Gubbins a plentifull dish Fruit enough scant ye shall haue this yeare That is to say Plums Apples and Peare Walnuts small Nuts of all sorts Because Boyes will haue them for their comforts Corne shall be scant if that it lacke price And Cattell shall be deare if the Market arise Because greedinesse with many doth grudge Neuer ruled with reason like a couetous Saudge Not caring if thousands doe perish with paine So all things proceede to his owne priuate gaine Beefe Mutton Veale Capon and Coney This yeare get ye none except ye haue money All other things shall be at the same price Except onely Cats Rats and Mice Ye shall haue plenty of Brawne and of Sowce For euery good Taylor shall kill a great Lowse Though Monkes and Friers be not in Cloysters Yet may there be at Belingsgate plenty of Oysters In Lent shall be larges of red Herrings and Sprats But without money ye get neither Caps nor Hats So shall be Mackrels and Playse if the winde serue Soone set and sharpe teeth both they quickly carue This yeare shall youth loue Apples and Peares So shall some loue to goe together by the eares Which is by reason the Doctors strongly admit That fooles this yeare shall haue but little wit Yet fooles haue good fortune I cannot denie Though they haue no more wit then they occupie And though Quailes this yeare be very dainty Yet it is to be thought we shall haue Woodcocks plenty And rifer then either Capon or Goose For some shall haue Woodcocks at home in their house Wherefore I say some shall want and some haue And all because some will spend and some will saue But he that hath all thing nothing shall lacke And he that hath nothing shall goe to wracke In the heat of Sommer many shall thinke That Claret wine with Borage is a cup of good drinke Reapers and Rakers of Corne and of Hay Shall haue but little to doe betweene this and May In Haruest poore men may chance to lacke Sithes But this yeare Priests must haue plenty of Tithes Of the Complexions OF Complexions truly to speake Some be strong and some be weake Some be in a meane betweene them both Some to doe well are very loth Some men that shall be brought vp in Schooles Shall in conclusion be starke fooles For Saturne Mercurie Sol and Venus Iupiter Pisces and Aquarius Declare by seuerall constellations That naughty knaues will
