Others would render the bright stars; the planets, perhaps, or some of them being referred to.

Arcturus with his sons Or, the bear with her young. The reference is supposed to be to the constellation of the Great Bear. Her "young" are the stars that project from the square; or, taking the popular conception of the constellation as a "plough," they are the bright stars that form the "beam."
