And meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven.
The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,

The other to enjoy by rage and war.
These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.

But that our loves and comforts should increase
Even as our days do grow!

For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;

A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.

Led on by heaven, and crown'd with joy at last.

Unreconcil'd as yet to heaven and grace,
Solicit for it straight.

The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy To inlay heaven with stars.
