If i remember correctly, Xenophan (I think I've got the speeling correct, he
was an achent roman writer/phlosopher) in his book symposium had a poem
about the heavens containg a juggler who was juggling the stars and planets.
The whole book is in verse, as this was the way scholarly books were written
back then.
