[p. 99] To these her Powers wise Nature's Laws dispenseSubmitting all things to their Influence:But then as Emperours their Realms divide,And every Province hath its proper Guide,So 'tis in Signs; they have not equal SharesOf common Power, each Fortune claims its Stars;Our Studies, Poverty, Wealth, Joy and Grief,With all the other Accidents of LifeShe parcels out; to proper Stars confinesThe Lots in number equal to the Signs.
