卷二·第五至六章　金星与水星

CHAP. V. Of the Nature and Significations of VENVS.

第五章　论金星的本性与所主。

I Come now to Venus, who is next under Sol; she is the lesser Fortune, transparent, bright and shining; she is very well known by the Country people by the name of the Evening Star, when she sets after the Sun; and she is sometimes by them called the morning Star when she riseth before the Sun, Feminine and Nocturnal.

我现在来讲金星，她在太阳之下；她是小吉星，透亮、明亮而闪耀；乡下人很熟悉她，她在太阳之后落下时，他们叫她「昏星」；她在太阳之前升起时，他们有时叫她「晨星」；她是阴性的、夜性的。

And again, by some she is called the Shepherds Star.

另外，有人叫她「牧人之星」。

She is to our sight the biggest of all the Stars and Planets, except Sol, and Luna; yet according to Tycho, she is less then the earth six times: Ptolomy, Albotegnius and Alfraganus say 36. times, &c.

在我们看来，除了太阳和月亮，她是一切星辰与行星中最大的；可是照第谷，她比地球小六倍：托勒密、阿尔巴塔尼和阿尔法甘尼说小三十六倍，等等。

She is distant from the earth, according to the same Ptolomie, Albotegnins and Alfraganus, 618. semidiameters of the earth, but Tycho and Copernicus say 1150.

照同一位托勒密以及阿尔巴塔尼和阿尔法甘尼，她与地球的距离是地球半径的六百一十八倍，但第谷和哥白尼说是一千一百五十倍。

Her mean motion is 59. m. 8. sec.

她的平均运行是五十九分八秒。

Her diurnal motion is sometimes 62. m. 64. m. 65. m. 66. m. 70. m. 74. m. or 76. m. but she never exceedeth 82. m.

她的日行有时是六十二分、六十四分、六十五分、六十六分、七十分、七十四分或七十六分，但从不超过八十二分。

She finisheth her course through the twelve signs of the Zodiack in the same time the Sun doth, or thereabouts.

她走完黄道十二星座的时间与太阳相同，或差不多。

When she is Lady of the year in any Revolution, and essentially dignified, the year will be advantagious unto women, who shall generally be free from infirmities and mischiefs; they shall love and delight in the society of their Husbands, shall be fruitfull, easily conceive and bring forth; the people shall also generally thrive and be prosperous, shall delight themselves in recreations, sports, feastings, mirth and jollities, and all pleasure whatsoever; also in fine apparel; but if she be weak, judge the contrary.

当她在某次回归中为年主、又有必然尊贵时，这一年对妇女有利，她们普遍免于疾病与灾祸；她们会爱丈夫、乐于与丈夫相伴，多产，容易怀孕生产；百姓也会普遍兴旺发达，以游乐、运动、宴饮、欢乐、嬉戏和种种乐事自娱；也讲究华服；但如果她弱，就判断相反。

CHAP. VI. Of the Nature and Significations of MERCVRY.

AFter Venus, or next under her, and above Luna, is located Mercury, of whom by Gods blessing we are come now to Treat; he is of a silver-colour, but duskish; seldom seen by us, by reason of his proximity to the Sun, he being never distant from him above 27. degrees to our sight: he is the least of all the Planets to our sight, except Saturn; but according to Tycho, he is less then the earth 19. times; Albategnius saith 19000. time, and Alfraganus 22000. times.

在金星之后、即在她之下、月亮之上，是水星，蒙神赐福，我们现在来讲他；他是银色的，但发暗；我们很少看见他，因为他靠近太阳，在我们看来他离太阳从不超过二十七度：在我们看来，除了土星，他是行星中最小的；可是照第谷，他比地球小十九倍；阿尔巴塔尼说一万九千倍，阿尔法甘尼说两万二千倍。
