Qui uero in media se, ut praedicant, fatorum misere pignora natales inquirunt et primam aeui horam omnium annorum habent nuntiam, quo ierint motu sidera, in quas discucurrerint partes, contrane deus steterit, an placidus adfulserit sol; an plenam lucem, an initia surgentis acceperit, an abdiderit in noctem obscurum caput luna; Saturnus nascentem, an ad bella Mars militem, an negotiosum in quaestus Mercurius exceperit, an blanda adnuerit nascenti Venus, an ex humili in sublime Iuppiter tulerit aestimant: tot circa unum caput tumultuantis deos!
