Of beasts, the hart, the rabbit, the calf and all small cattle.
Of birds, the dove, the sparrow, the nightingale, the swan, the pelican

Her metal is copper.
Her stones, white and red coral, rubies, the beryl, turquoise and lapis
lazuli, because it expels melancholy.
Her colours are white and purple.
Her orb is 7 degrees before and after any aspect.
Her day of the week is Friday, of which she rules the first and eighth

Her angel is Anael.
Mercury is of a soft silver colour. His greatest north latitude is 3
degrees 33 minutes. His greatest south latitude is 3 degrees 33

When he rises well-dignified at a birth the native is a person of
subtle intellect, an excellent logician, and possessing much eloquence
in his speech; sharp and witty, of admirable memory, curious in occult
knowledge, given to divination, and, if he should turn his attention to
trade, no man would exceed him in the invention of new ways to gain
wealth.
In person, when Mercury rises well-dignified, the native is of rather
small stature, but elegantly formed, very active and supple in his
limbs, and with long arms; he will have a long, narrow face, a high
forehead, rather swelling at the temples, grey eyes with brown spots in
them, delicate mouth, straight eyebrows, a skin of a pale yellow or
olive colour, the hair of a red-brown, commonly called auburn.
When ill-dignified at birth Mercury gives a person of very small
stature, with small, insignificant features and very small and
quickly-moving eyes; and in character he is shifty, a boaster,
foolishly loquacious and a great liar.
He rules the liver, the tongue and the nerves, and the illnesses he
gives are epilepsy, giddiness, dry cough, any affection of the tongue,
and all nervous affections.
The herbs attributed to him are generally those having a subtle smell,
and having effect on the tongue, brain, lungs, or memory; they are
vervain, adder's-tongue, aniseed, dragon-wort, and the reed.
The trees are the elder and the filbert-tree.
The animals are the squirrel, the weasel, the spider, the greyhound,
the fox, the ape and all cunning and quickly-moving creatures.
The birds, the parrot, the magpie, the crane, the linnet and the
swallow.
Of fish, the jack-fish and the mullet.
His metal is quicksilver.
His stones all those of divers colours, white and red carnelian and
marcasite, or fire-stone.
In colours he rules azure, and all light blue colours.
His orb is 7 degrees before and after any aspect.
He governs Wednesday--the first hour and the eighth after sunrise. His
number is 114. The Moon, Venus, Jupiter, the Sun and Saturn are his
friends; Mars is his enemy.
His angel is Raphael.
