In ancient times.

In ancient times long long ago,

when Ptolemy looked up into the firmament-

with wonder and amaze, to see the heavens glowing there-

he little knew of how the Gods did sport and play!

When Cassiopeia ope'd her ***** and let forth her music in the heavens, with joy the stars did dance and planets in their fundament  strove to eclipse each other vying with all their might to illuminate-the heavens more bright with their ethereal light and splendor.

Andromeda began to dance, then Sirius  and Betelgeuse,

Virgo too with Capricorn- Herculese and Aquila-Regulus with Ursa minor, all the planets danced but one,

and that with angry stance, refused to join the dance,  

Mars with red countenance stood aloof feigning reproof,  

 Look carefully, and you will see,

the stars still dance for you and me.
