My soul! Have I so many years been blind

To all the glories wheeling o’er my head

And starry with the challenge of my quest?

Orion jewel-girdled and behind

Coursing his dogs, in mighty combat strange

With red-eyed Taurus!

And the Charioteer

Flashing toward the goal in full career!

The thrice-immortal Twins the chase abreast,

Cheering the race but keeping out of range
