The Centaur
The Centaur: drivers of mules, horses and chariots.
[p. 68] With Twelve Degrees the Centaur's Form appears,And gives a Temper from the shape he bears;For he that then is born, and feels his force,Shall harness Mules, or he shall drive the Horse;Or he shall proudly mount the rattling Car,Or Arm the Steed, and lead him forth to War;Or he shall study what Disease infests,And Ease apply to uncomplaining Beasts;Or he shall keep them sound, his Art be shownIn sure Prevention, nor expect a Groan.
