Wordsworth, Jupiter, and Annotation

William Wordsworth was not born "under" Jupiter in any way I understand. Since the notes for the Norton edition were written by Jonathan Wordsworth, whose authority is great and well-deserved, I have hesitated to question this one, but he offered no evidence for this claim, and I have found nothing elsewhere in Wordsworth to warrant it. Late in his career Wordsworth wrote two sonnets called "To the Planet Venus" (1831 and 1838), and they, along with his well-known early sonnet "Composed by the Sea-Side, Near Calais" (1802), are all addressed to Venus as the evening star or Vesper. Since no single editor can know enough when it comes to annotations, The Wordsworth Circle has offered to serve a useful function here.
