Heaven is inhabited by twelve astrological gods, which show themselves in the zodiac. He that is born under Aries has much cattle, much wool and besides, a brazen face and crooked head, which is certainly to wear the cuckold's horns.

Under Leo are both spendthrifts and bullies; under Virgo, women and those who wear iron garters.
Under Libra, butchers, slip-slop makers and men of business.

Under Sagittarius, those who are goggle-eyed, herb-women and bacon stealers.
Under Capricorn, poor helpless rascals, to whom nature gave horns so that they might defend themselves.
Under Aquarius, cooks and potbellies.
Under Pisces, caterers and orators.
