Now may we look on Monarchy and sing,
In health and peace long live great JAMES our King.

And concluding with the "Weather Glass," &c., &c., which
follow:

_Prognostica Georgica_: Or the Country-man's Weather-Glass.

Prognosticks of Tempests. The obscuring of the smaller stars
is a certain sign of Tempests approaching, the oft changing
of the Winds is always a forerunner of a storm.

Of Winds. The resounding of the Sea upon the shore, and
murmuring of the Winds in the Woods without apparent Wind,
shew wind to follow; shooting of stars (as they call it) is
an usual sign of wind from that quarter the star came from,
Redness of the Skie in the morning is a token of Winds, or
Rain, or both: if the circles that appear about the Sun, be
red and broken, they portend wind: if thick and dark, Winds,
Snow, or Rain: The like may be said of the Circles about the
Moon.

Of Rain. If two Rainbows appear, they are a sign of Rain: If
the Sun or Moon look pale, look for Rain: if a dark Cloud be
at Sun-rising, in which the Sun soon after is hid, it will
dissolve it, and Rain will follow: if the Sun seem greater
in the East than commonly, it is a sign of Rain, if in the
West about Sun-setting there appear a black Cloud, you may
expect Rain that night, or the day following, if in the
winter time thick white Clouds appear in the South-east near
the Horizon at Sun rising, they portend Snow, a day or two
after: If black Clouds appear there, it is a sign of Rain.

Of Fair Weather. If the Moon look bright and fair, look for
Fair Weather. Also the appearing of one Rainbow after a
storm, is a known sign of Fair Weather. If Mists come down
from the Hills, or descend from the heavens, and settle in
the valleys, they promise fair hot weather: Mists in the
Evening shew a fair, hot day on the morrow: The like when
