Subject(s): Planets
First Line: Saturn and sol, and luna chaste
Last Line: Should lose a planet, and the week a day.
Subject(s): Planets
SATURN and Sol, and Luna chaste,
'Twixt Mars and Venus still are plac't,
Whilst Mercury and Jove divide,
The lovers on the other side.
What may the hidden mystery
Of this unriddled order be?
The Gods themselves do justly fear,
That should they trust these two too near;
Mars would be drown'd in Venus, and so they
Should lose a Planet, and the week a day.
