alter ab excelso decurrens limes Olympo Serpentis caudam siccas et dividit Arctos et iuga Chelarum medio volitantia gyro, extremamque secans Hydram mediumque sub austris Centaurum adverso concurrit rursus in axe, et redit in caelum, squamosaque tergora Ceti Lanigerique notat fines clarumque Trigonum Andromedaeque sinus imos, vestigia matris, principiumque suum repetito cardine claudit.
One line, descending from the summit of the sky, passes through the Dragons tail and the Bears that shun ocean, and the yoke of the Balance which revolves in the midmost circle. It cleaves the extremity of the Water-snake and the middle of the southern Centaur, and again converges upon the opposing circle at the pole; returning thence heavenward, it marks the scaly back of the Whale, the boundary of the Ram, the bright Triangle, the lowest folds of Andromedas robe, and her mothers feet, and, the pole regained, ends with its beginning.
