Rus. Of the Dukes life, what dangers threaten him?
Nor. Apparent, and those suddain, when the Hyley
Or Alchorodon by direction come
To a Quartile opposition of the place
Where Mars is in the Geniture (which is now
At hand) or else oppose to Mars himself; expect it.
Lat. But they may be prevented.
Nor. Wisdom only
That rules the Stars, may do it; for Mars being
Lord of the Geniture in Capricorn,
Is, if you mark it, now a Sextile here,
With Venus Lady of the Horoscope.
So she being in her Exilium, which is Scorpio,
And Mars his Gaudium, is o'rerul'd by him,
And clear debilitated five degrees
Beneath her ordinary power, so
That, at the most she can but mitigate.
Lat. You cannot name the persons bring this danger?
Nor. No, that the Stars tell us not, they name no man,
That is a work, Sir, of another place.
Rus. Tell him whom you suspect, and he'll guess shrewdly.
Lat. Sir, we do fear one Aubrey; if 'twere he
I should be glad; for we should soon prevent him.
Fis. I know him, the Dukes Kinsman, a tall man?
Lay hold of't Norbret.
Nor. Let me pause a little,
Is he not near of kin unto the Duke?
