Tramontana .

¶ Vegio la stella in su che’l polo gira
Cum quelle septe e due che vano i’torno
Le’qual per necessita molto si mira
Da navicanti quando mancha il giorno
Chi la cercasse e trovar la desira
L’ochio suo guardi la bocha d’un corno
Chi piu s’apressa ad veder le supine
Piu freddo sente et giazo confine

L’altra tramontana

¶ Dal’opposita parte e l’altro polo
Simile aquello e freddo de natura
Che non se puo mirar dal nostro suolo
Perche tra noi e quello cha grande arsura
Equinocio La quale e sempre sotto un cerchio solo
Che fa la nocte el di d’ogual mesura
Tra questa calda e le due fredde zone
Sono i luogi habitati da le persone

Stelle .

¶ Dentro a si grande e tal circumferentia
Di stelle sono un numero infinito
E ciascuna produce sua influentia
Che corpi mortali e nel terresto sito
Benche pochi se n’abi in scientia
Perche souente riman smarito
Chi da iuditio di cosse future
Perche di tute non sa lor nature
