WHat learned Astrologers writeth this Yeare , I purpose now unto you for to declare , Especially Lilly a man of great learning , In famous Astrology by our discerning . And likewise Cullpeper , a man of great fame Knowne all over England even by that name , What they have foretold you here shall finde , Strange and remarkable if it you will minde January . In January small newes you shall heare , Vnlesse it be so to fill you with care , The poore Country men will be grounded indéed , When he hath no fodder his Cattell to féed . From Spaine ; and Italy , we shall heare newes , God grant poore men may not be sold for old shoos O trust to your selves where eare you sée me Though I have good judgment in Astrologie . February , In February men will not be dumbe ; Though Angels of gold have quieted some , Nor yet shall this government altred be , Though turbulant spirits doe strive to be frée . We shall make a peace with some sorrain nation , Then for our own good to kéepe ffirm our station And though many thunder-bolts séeke to disturb us It doth not lye in their power yet for to curb us . March . All Urope this Month shall be at a stand At our preparations by Sea , and by Land Though we amongst our selves cannot agree Yet England , by others now feared shall bee . The hearts of the dutch men this month shall wax colde , Then by the courage of our Sea-men bold , And if I mistake not they shall seeke their peace And so shall the honour of England encrease . Aprill . The common-wealth this Month of Aprill . Shall stand in great feare some things will fall ill For Taxes Increase and moneys grow scant And the poorer sort shall be in great want . We shall have a feare although we are strong , The Scot , or the Dutch , will doe us some wronge Not by their power : but by treacheries , Although we from them have taine many a prise . May , Now this Month of May. it cannot be good , It séemes to begin with horrour and blood . Feavers and other diseases most strange . About the Citty and Country shall range . And this Month all Urope shall make preparation For war as I guesse nations against nations Yet if wee fight . we still shall see , England shall still victorious be .
The second Part , to the same Tune .
a crowd of people looking at an army in the sky
June Our governors shall labour to keep us still quiet , From civil desention , mischief and r●yot , And good moderate people shall labour each day , To perswade rude people to love and obay . This month we expect some newese from the north And I doe guesse some matters of worth ▪ From Scotland and Holland & from other parts , But God send our Country , men true loyal hearts July . This July the Land shall quieted be , And in good condition as all men shall see , Holland once more shall sue for a peace , And there will be hopes the mischief will cease . If no peace be granted they 'le do us small harme , Although about us like Locus they swarme , For our brave Sea-men wée néed not to doubt , Will after some knocking put them to the rout . August . Much thunder and lightning in this moneth wil be . The Ayre much distempered the people shall sée , Many Sea-fights and blood shall be shed , And many for want of wit are missed : But after a while good newes shall wée heare , Come from the West to banish our feare , A Mutiny in Spaine is likely to be , And wée in this Nation shall hardly agrée . September . This moneth of September if things fall out right , Holland and wée shall give over to fight . By means of Embassadours we are made friends . And Holland be willing to make us amends : The wings will grow high and may us affright , But there is no Enemy 'gainst us dare fight , Then be of good comfort and be not cast downe , For we shall live quiet , though fortune may frown October . The 1 wéeke of this moneth wée shall heare good Newes , Our Merchants returne and nothing shall loose . From the Western parts with joy and content , After much toyling and labour is spentt : Our Land now shall flourish and Holland decline , And to sée us prosper our Foes shall repine , If God be with us , who can us with-stand , It is he alone that protecteth our Land . November . In this moneth of November good people shal strive Out of this Nation Tythes for to drive , Who squze the country-man out of his estate , Even by their tyranny of their deceit : Enough for to make all the people to rise , Against those that over them thus tyranize , Who cannot be quiet untill they be eased . And til that time come they will not be pleased , December . I would not have Merchants now for to grieve , Their ships shall come home their minds to relieve For providence kéeps them , then do not despaire , This moneth of December good news you shal hear , And since it is now the last moneth in the Yeare , I would not have any possessed with feare , Let 's pray unto God our comfort in chiefe , At the end of the yeare for to end all our griefe .
