ASTROLOGY by GEORGE CROLY

First Line: LOOK THERE! THE HOUR IS WRITTEN IN THE SKY
Last Line: AND O'ER HER STANDS EXULTING!
Subject(s): ASTROLOGY & ASTROLOGERS;

Look there! the hour is written in the sky.
Jove rushes down on Saturn, -- 'tis the sign
Of war throughout the nations. In the east
The Crescent sickens; -- and the purple star,
Perseus, the Ionian's love, lifts up his crest,
And o'er her stands exulting!
