English poem
Panic
by John B. Tabb (1845–1909)
It struck the signs of the Zodiac, Around the immovable Man Who stands in front of the Almanack To show his interior plan.
The Scorpion attacked the Bull, The Bull aroused the Lion; The Crab by their tails Flung the Fish in the Scales, Where they floundered as on a gridiron; The Billy Goat went for the Gemini twins; The Ram made a rush at Aquarius; And a n_arrow_ escape had the Virgo's shins From the shaft of her beau Sagittarius.
