The dipper handle this month is our guide:
We round its curve to reach Arcturus’ glare,
The light by which Bootes I mighty stride
Tries futilely to catch a Polar bear.
The curve continues on to Spica where
The jewelled Virgin sits, serene and sage.
Her diamonds sparkle vlhile she probes this flair
For antics in a man Bootes’ age!
