On the Astrologicall Quack

At th' Colledge of the stars he did commence,
And Statesman-like will speak the houses sense,
Each house for mans use stranger herbs hath got,
To them they essence property, seed allot.
But is't not strange; when they so numerous be,
How all do with a fewer stars agree?
Each pil and potion too hath diff'rent sign:
Nature ith' stomach sure now can't refine.
Or ist since Heav'n stands still, and earth turns round,
We here are giddy, there no truth is found?
The Heav'ns a book is, where men wonders read,
The stars are letters, most a Christs Cross need.
