Il. XVIII. 483-489:—

"There he wrought earth, sea, and heaven, There he set th' unwearying sun, And the waxing moon, and stars that Crown the blue vault every one; Pleiads, Hyads, strong Orion, Arctos, hight to boot the Wain. He upon Orion waiting, Only he of all the train Shunning still the baths of ocean Wheels and wheels his round again."
