The glorious _Orion_ has now come well into view, though not yet
so upright as we could wish a knightly hunter to be. He treads
on the Hare (_Lepus_), and faces the Bull (_Taurus_) above.

Due east we find the Crab (_Cancer_), and Little Dog (_Canis Minor_)
low down; the Twins (_Gemini_) higher; above them the Charioteer
(_Auriga_), with the bright _Capella_, and _Perseus_ the Rescuer
nearing the point overhead. In the mid-space between _Perseus,
Auriga_, and the two Bears, we find the ridiculous constellation
_Camelopardus_, or the Giraffe.
