Text
[sig. A2r]
Quæ sunt in superis, hæc inferioribus insunt:
Quod monstrat cœlum, id terra frequenter habet.
Ignis, Aqua et fluitans duo sunt contraria: felix,
Talia si jungis: sit tibi scire satis!

What is in the heavens, these things are also present in the lower realms: What the sky shows, the earth often possesses. Fire, Water, and the floating two are opposites: fortunate, If you join such things: let it be enough for you to know!
Daniel Meisner from Komotau, Bohemian, Imperial Poet Laureate
