Trailing her silver glories through the night:
On the EarthΓÇÖs orbit see the various signs,
Mark where the Sun, our year completing, shines;
First the bright Ram his languid ray improves;
Next glaring watΓÇÖry throΓÇÖ the Bull he moves;
The amΓÇÖrous Twins admit his genial ray;
Now burning, throΓÇÖ the Crab he takes his way;
The Lion, flaming, bears the solar power;
The Virgin faints beneath the sultry shower.
Now the just Balance weighs his equal force,
The slimy Serpent swelters in his course;
The sabled Archer clouds his languid face;
The Goat, with tempests, urges on his race;
Now in the water his faint beams appear,
And the cold Fishes end the circling year.
