The Horse
The Horse: healthy, strong, quick, and at home in the saddle.
[p. 80] With Pisces twenty first Degree to flyThe Horse begins, and beats the yielding Sky;His Births shall Health, and vigorous Strength enjoy,For Action quick, and nimble for employ.They in thick rounds shall rein the manag'd Steed,Or sweep the Plain, deceiving with their speed:Or proudly mounted they shall boldly dareHeroick Acts, and lead the Crowd to War:Or else be nimble Messengers, and moveWith greater swiftness than a flying Dove;Send both with like Advice, the one shall bringReturns, whilst t'other lags with lazy Wing,Or they shall study Herbs, and strength impartTo Beasts, and e'en to Man enlarge their Art.

The text is Thomas Creech's 1697 verse translation, checked word by word between three scans of the same type (the 1697 printing, the 1700 printing and a third copy).
