• The empire of Saturnus is gone by;
  Lord of the secret birth of things is he;
  Within the lap of earth, and in the depths
  Of the imagination dominates;
  And his are all things that eschew the light.

  For Jupiter, the lustrous, lordeth now,
  And the dark work, complete of preparation,
  He draws by force into the realm of light.

  The scheme, and most auspicious positure
  Parts o'er my head, and takes once more its flight,
  For the heavens journey still, and adjourn not.
