XXXIII.

French.

Jupiter joint plus Venus qu’a la Lune,

Apparoissant de plenitude blanche,

Venus cachée soubs la blancheur Neptune,

De Mars frappée par la gravée branche.

English.

Jupiter being more joyned to Venus then to the Moon,

Appearing in a full whiteness,

Venus being hid under the whiteness of Neptune,

Stricken by Mars through the ingraved branch.

ANNOT.

These terms being Astronomical and Astrological, it is hard to guess at the Authors mind.
