Now near the Twins behold Orion rise;
His arms extended measure half the skies;
His stride no less. Onward with steady pace
He treads the boundless realms of starry space,
On each broad shoulder a bright star display'd
And three obliquely grace his hanging blade,
In his vast head, immers'd in boundless spheres,
Three stars less and arm'd, he leads the starry host.
Manilius (c. 1st century AD)
