oh no that would not do, to imagine

that four stars bound together

by a belt of diamonds

could possibly be: Queen of the Night

Gliding gracefully across the sky

her glittering belt casts a spell

and all evil melts into oblivion

Harmony infiltrates every nook

and cranny on this Earth

beneath her gaze the Dogs no longer bite

the Bull becomes less fierce

The Queen wears the orange opal

the universe breathes peace.
