Quotes from Ovid (43 BCE–17 CE)

There is a place above, where Scorpio bent, In tail and arms surrounds a vast extent; In a wide circuit of the heavens he shines, And fills the place of two celestial signs.

Now rising you may see with naked eye The brilliant Star in Corde Scorpii, Whose changing colours on a Summer's night, When culminating, shine so clear and bright, And twinkling change with red and silver light.
