Και τε φέρει πολλὸν πυρετὸν δειλοῖσι βροτοῖσι.
II. xxii. 29.
Novistine locum potiorem rure beato?
Est ubi plus tepeant hyemes? ubi gratior aura
Leniat et rabiem Canis et momenta Leonis,
Quum semel accepit solem furibundus acutum?
(Hor. Epist. I. x. 16.)
3. Lepus. The Hare.
4. Argo. The hinder part of a ship.
5. Cetus. The Whale. The Great Fish. It looks to the east.

7. Piscis Austrinus. The Southern Fish. In this constellation is the bright star Fomalhaut.
8. Corona Australis. The Southern Crown.
9. Ara. The Altar. This constellation contains no star of greater magnitude than the fourth, and lies so far to the south, that it is in no wise conspicuous in our northern latitudes; but it was considered of the greatest importance by the ancients as portending changes of the weather.
10. Centaurus. The Centaur. A man on horseback, bearing an animal on a pole or spear.
11. Hydra. The Sea Serpent. Upon it an empty Goblet, and a Raven or Crow.
