[rubric: Çodiacho]

¶ Un cerchio imaginato da gram savi
Çodiaco chiamato ivi si pone
Nel qual . xii . signi boni e pravi
Revolger fano cum multa rasone
Homini bestie piante pisci e navi
Par ch’abino a sentir lor conditione
Per ciascum volgie il sole un mese intero
E sei di loro a ciascun emispero

[rubric: Li signi e lor complexion.]

¶ Sum l’ariete leo et sagittario
De natura di fuoco caldo e secco
Il Cancro e scorpio e pisce per contrario
Humidi e freddi sono e posto il becco
Et virgo e tauro e contrario ad aquario
Perche ciascun de loro e freddo e secco
E capricorno e humido e caldo e cusi libra
E quel che dui germani inseme vibra

[rubric: Septe Spiere saturno]

¶ Poi sum septe pianete in septe spere
L’un dopo l’altro giu de giro in giro
Saturno e primo di quelle lumiere
Che’n vista par oriental çefiro
Le lor proportione sum cosse vere
Che ne po veder prova ciascun viro
Per numeri e mesure sença busia
Come ne mostra chiaro astrologia
