Of Unequal Signs
Signs at odd distances have nothing to say to each other.
[p. 64] From Signs unequal any way removeAll Thoughts of Union, they're averse to Love:Thus never think between the Sixths to findAn Intercourse, nor hope to see them kind;Because the Lines, by which we mark their place,In length unlike stretch thro' unequal space.
[p. 65] For take the Zodiack, from the Ram begin,And thence on either side extend the LineTo meet the Sixth from Aries, then disposeA Third, and let the Three in Angles close;Between the Two first Lines Four Signs are found,The Third includes but One, for that fills up the Round.

The text is Thomas Creech's 1697 verse translation, checked word by word between three scans of the same type (the 1697 printing, the 1700 printing and a third copy). The long s is printed as s; every other spelling is Creech's. Pages are cited as the 1697 printing numbers them. The portrait is William Marshall’s engraving of Lilly from the front of the 1659 printing (Wellcome Library, public domain).
