How's that man? Is't possible for any man to ha' children Without a sign masculine? Sir, you mistake me: You are not yet initiate. The Almutes Of the Ascendent is not elevated. Above the Almutes of the filial house. Venus is free, and Jove not yet combust: And then the signifier being lodged In watery signs, the Scorpion, Crab, and Fish, Foreshow a numerous issue of both sexes. And Mercury in's exaltations Placed in their angles, and their points successive, Beholds the Lords of the Triplicity Unhindered in their influence. You were born Under a getting constellation, A fructifying star.— Sir, I pronounce you A joyful father. Happy be the hour I met with thee. I'll ha' thee live with me. Thou shalt be my domestical Astronomer. I have a brace of Poets as fit as may be, To furnish thee with verses for each month. Sir, since the gracious stars do promise me So numerous a troup of sons and daughters, 'Tis fit I should have my means in my own hands To provide for 'em all: therefore I fain would know Whether my father be— long-lived, or no. The planet Mars is Orientall now To Saturn; but in reference to the Sun He bears a Westerly position. Which Ylem linking Saturn with the Sun In opposition, both sinisterly Fallen from their corners, plainly signifies He cannot long survive. Why, who can help it? There's no resistance to the laws of Fate: This sublunary world must yield obedience To the celestial virtues.— Wert not providence To bespeak mourning cloaks against the funeral? 'Tis good to be in readiness. If thou be So cunning a prophet, tell me; Do I mean To entertain thee for my wizard? Sir, I do not see the least Azymenes, Or planetary hindrance. Alcocoden Tells me you will. Tell Alcocoden then He is i'th' right. Thrasimachus, Hyperbolus! We have increased our family, see him enrolled. He is a man of merit, and can prophesy. We'll drench him in the welcome of the cellar, And try if he can prophesy who falls first. How will the world admire me, when they see My house an Academy, all the arts Wait at my table, every man of quality Take sanctuary here! I will be patron To twenty liberal sciences. A Fair sun Shine on the happy bridegroom. Quondam Tutor, (For I am past all tuition but my wife's) Thanks for your wishes; have you studied yet How with one charge (for ceremonious charge I care not for) I may express my grief At the sad funerals of my friends deceased, And yet proclaim with how much joy I wed The beauteous Phryne? I have beat my brain To find out a right garb: wear these two cloaks. This sable garment, sorrows Livery, Speaks funeral: this richer robe of joy, Says 'tis a nuptial solemnity. A choice device:— I'll practise. Rarely well.
