The zodiac enters into the description of the advancing day in _Titus Andronicus_ (act ii. sc. 1, l. 5, vol. vi. p. 450),— “As when the golden sun salutes the morn, And, having gilt the ocean with his beams, Gallops the zodiac in his glistering coach, And overlooks the highest-peering hills; So Tamora. Upon her wit doth earthly honour wait, And virtue stoops and trembles at her frown.” It also occupies a place in a homely comparison in _Measure for Measure_ (act i. sc. 2, l. 158, vol. i. p. 303), to point out the duration of nineteen years, or the moon’s cycle,— “This new governor Awakes me all the enrolled penalties Which have, like unscour’d armour, hung by the wall So long, that nineteen zodiacs have gone round. And none of them been worn; and for a name Now puts the drowsy and neglected act Freshly on me: ’tis surely for a name.” The archery scene in _Titus Andronicus_ (act iv. sc. 3, l. 52, vol. vi. p. 501) mentions several of the constellations and the figures by which they were known. The dialogue is between Titus and Marcus,— “_Tit._ You are a good archer, Marcus; [_He gives them the arrows._ ‘Ad Jovem,’ that’s for you: here, ‘Ad Apollinem:’ ‘Ad Martem,’ that’s for myself: Here, boy, to Pallas: here, to Mercury: To Saturn, Caius, not to Saturnine; You were as good to shoot against the wind. To it, boy! Marcus, loose when I bid. Of my word, I have written to effect; There’s not a god left unsolicited. _Marc._ Kinsmen, shoot all your shafts into the court: We will afflict the emperor in his pride. _Tit._ Now, masters, draw, [_They shoot._] O, well said, Lucius! Good boy, in Virgo’s lap; give it Pallas. _Marc._ My Lord, I aim a mile beyond the moon; Your letter is with Jupiter by this. _Tit._ Ha, ha! Publius, Publius, what hast thou done? See, see, thou hast shot off one of Taurus’ horns. _Marc._ This was the sport, my lord: when Publius shot, The Bull, being gall’d, gave Aries such a knock That down fell both the Ram’s horns in the court.” In allusion to the old medico-astrological idea that the different members of the human body were under the influence of their proper or peculiar constellations, the following dialogue occurs in the _Twelfth Night_ (act i. sc. 3, l. 127, vol. iii. p. 231),— “_Sir And._ Shall we not set about some revels? _Sir Toby._ What shall we do else? were we not born under Taurus? _Sir And._ Taurus! That’s sides and heart. ”_Toby._ No sir; it is legs and thighs. Let me see thee caper: ha! higher: ha, ha! excellent!”
