“[God (The Eternal)] Hung forth in Heav’n his golden Scales, yet seen Betwixt Astrea and the Scorpion signe, Wherein all things created first he weighd, The pendulous round Earth with ballanc’t Aire In counterpoise, now ponders all events, Battels and Realms.”

John Milton’s poem – Paradise Lost 

Astraea leaves the earth – Salvatore Rosa 1665.
