Epigram XLI. On an Astronomer that tryed by rules of Art to find whether he were a Cuckold

Star-gazing fool? thou from the signs would'st see,
And Planets face what thy wives dealings be.
She does her works below, where Sun ne'r pries,
And though she's light, she mounts not to the skies,
'Cause she's kept down by men; if in the sphear
Thou Venus see, thou think'st thy wife is there:
And if the Bull or Aries thou dost see,
Thou think'st they are reflections of thee.
Fool keep at home: when thou abroad dost go,
In imitation her legs do so too:
And when thou gazest in the skies to know
Her works, she does even what she please below.
