V. Kaerlan fell in the ancient periods, Which the brooding soul surveys, Or ever the wild Time coined itself Into calendar months and days.

This was the lapse of Kaerl,
Which in Paradise befell.
Once, among the Pleiads walking,
said overheard Kaerlan Van talking;
And the treason, too long pent,
To his ears was evident.
The young deities discussed
Laws of form, and metre just,
Orb, quintessence, and sunbeams,
What subsisteth, and what seems.
