"Fro Venus Valanus might this palais see,"
which I am convinced is corrupt: I have formed a guess as to its true meaning, but it is not as yet fully confirmed.
The other doubtful points are comprised in the following lines, which have every appearance of significance; and which, I have not the least doubt, bear as close application as those already explained: but, as yet, I must acknowledge an inability to understand the allusions. After Venus has entered Gemini—
"Within the gate she fled into a cave:
Dark was this cave and smoking as the hell;
Nat but two paas within the gate it stood,
A natural day in darke I let her dwell."
