“When Juno saw the rival in her height, Spangled with stars, and circled round with light, She sought old Ocean in his deep abodes, And Tethys, both revered among the gods. They ask what brings her there: ‘Ne’er ask,’ says she, ‘What brings me here; Heaven is no place for me. You’ll see, when Night has covered all things o’er, Jove’s starry bastard and triumphant whore Usurp the heavens; you’ll see them proudly roll In their new orbs, and brighten all the pole.’ ”
