fcribes the manner of the native’s death. Mercury, who is the natural fignificator of the French people, being in his effential dignities, elevated, and in reception of Venus, lady thereof; and Mars beholding Jupiter with a quartile ray, pofited in the twelfth houfe, and lord of the afcendant of death; and the Moon, lady of afcendant of birth, being within orbs of an oppofition of Mars and Venus, who have their fall in the houfe of dignity and honour; all tend to forefhow that roy- alty was for a time to be deftroyed in France; as is moft wonderfully prenoted in the horofcope of the coronation. And what is very remarkable, at the time of the French monarch’s death, the Sun, who is king among the planets, was pofit- ed in his own detriment, or in that peculiar point of the heavens which is oppofed to his own houfe; and at the time of the unfortunate queen’s execution, the Sun was in his fall, without a fingle dignity to fupport him, as is moft clearly evinced by the horofcopes in the preceding plate; fo that we may fay, the ftars in their courfes fought againft this illuftrious pair, as they fought againft Sifera of old ; and thus we may perceive, that the moft valiant and the moft courageous are not proof againft the fhafts of fate; but that the nobleft, and moft glorioufly clad, whether in honour, glory, or renown, are but like the offspring of plants, which have their fpriuging up, their flowering, and their fragrant maturity; until, pluck- ed by a rude hand, they wither, fade, and die.
