　　人們最愛用這一種思想來欺騙自己；往往當我們因為自己行為不慎而遭逢不幸的時候，我們就會把我們的災禍歸怨於日月星辰，好像我們做惡人也是命運注定，做傻瓜也是出於上天的旨意，做無賴，做盜賊，做叛徒，都是受到天體運行的影響，酗酒，造謠，姦淫，都有一顆什麼星在那兒主持操縱，我們無論幹什麼罪惡的行為，全都是因為有一種超自然的力量在冥冥之中驅策著我們。明明自己跟人家通姦，卻把他好色的天性歸咎到一顆星身上，真是絕妙的推諉！                                                                                                                            
                                                                               
  This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune,--often the surfeit of our own behavior,--we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on; an admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish diposition to the charge of a star!
