The 10. of March, the Sunne enters into Aries, or the signe of the Ram March 10. Aries

by John Taylor 1580–1653

From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)

Nature

Diurnall Titans all reuiuing Carre,
Through all the heaucus his progresse now he takes:
And now his glistering Raies he doth vnbarre,
And what his absence mard, his presence makes:
Now he beginnes dame Tellus face to parch,
With blustring Boreas and with Eurus breath,
Thicke clouds of dust in March, through ayre doth march
And Plants dead seeming Re-reuiues from death.
Now at the heauy-headed horned Ram,
AEous, AEthon, Phlegon, and Pyrois,
On sweet Ambrosya sweetly feede and cram,
And drinking Nectars gods carowsing iuice,
Thus yeerely, one and thirty daies at least,
In Aries, Titan daines to be a guest.
