[rubric: Saturno]

¶ Questo pianeto si fa contemplanti
E pensativi e casti e ben astuti
Sotiglieça d'inçegno han tuti quanti
Son al ben far sicome al mal accuti
Chi -e- di suoi lo vede per sembianti
Che sopra a li altri son molto aveduti
Il nome fu d'um che naque in creta
Et hebbe la natura del pianeta

[rubric: Giove]

¶ Di costui nacque il magnanimo iove
Da cui li antiqui preson l'alto nome
Del secondo pianeto che si muove
Nela sua spera relucente come
Chiaro cristallo e questo in ciascun dove
Ha signoria con parte iuste some
E temperato et ha de se influentia
De signoria e de magnificentia

[rubric: Marte.]

¶ Seguita drieto a lui l'ardente Marte
Suo figlio di natura sanguinoso
In vista rubicondo e le sue arte
Sum d'essere irativo e furioso
A suo seguaçi piace esser sparte
I nimici di pegricia e di reposo
E se voglion pigliar la miglior parte
De virtu e di forteça hano grande arte

[rubric: Saturn}

¶ This planet makes people contemplative,
And thoughtful, and chaste, and very astute;
A subtle intellect have they all.
They are keen in doing both good and evil.
Those who are among them can be identified by their appearance,
because they are very prudent, above all others.
Its name comes from a man who was born in Crete [from clay]
And had the same nature as the planet.

[rubric: Jupiter]

¶ Of him was born the mighty Jupiter,
From whom the ancients took the lofty name
of the second planet that is moved
in its sphere, sparkling like
Clear crystal, and this one, where it holds
lordship, apportions [power] in just amounts
It is temperate and possesses innate authority
power and greatness.

[rubric: Mars.]

¶ Fiery Mars follows behind him:
his son, bloody in nature and
red in appearance; and his skills
are being wrathful and enraged.
His followers like to be unleashed,
enemies of laziness and repose.
And if they want to pursue the better side,
of virtue and fortitude, they have great skill.

[rubric: Saturn}

¶ This planet makes one ['is made of the'?] contemplative,
And thoughtful, and chaste, and very astute;
Keen intellect have they all.
They do good by being harsh towards evil.
Who is one of them is seen in their appearance,
And that more than others they are very prudent:
Its name comes from the man who was born in Crete
And had the [same?] nature as the planet

[rubric: Jupiter]

¶ Of him [ie Saturn] was born the magnanimous Jupiter,
From whom the ancients took the lofty name
Of the second planet that moves
In its splendid sphere like
Clear crystal, and who everywhere
Uses his power with the appearance [con parte=comparte?] of total justice [?].
He is temperate and has innate authority
Through power and magnificence

[rubric: Mars.]

¶ Following behind him, the fiery Mars,
His son with the bloody nature.
Ruddy faced, his skill
is to be wrathful and furious.
His followers like to be [scattered? ref. unclear to me]
The enemies of laziness and repose
And if they want to grab the better part
Of virtue and strength, they have great skill
