This is the opening to "The Agamemnon" by Aeschylus:
Watchman: I pray the gods release me from my toil, this endless watch. Asleep like a dog on my arm on the roof of the house of Atreides, I know the paths of the stars at night, their rising and falling, and which bring Winter and which Summer to men.
That took three hours. I'm hoping to do it all one day.
