Tang - Ode to the Stepping Stars
"Behold the seven stars of the Northern Dipper, radiant and clear. The first is Dubhe, the Sovereign Pivot; the second and third, Merak and Phecda, the Jade Gears. The fourth is Megrez, the Balance of Power; the fifth, Alioth, the Measuring Beam. Mizar and Alkaid follow as the sixth and seventh, with three stars of the Celestial Spear gleaming to the left of Alkaid."
