 He could at will ascend from solid ground

And float above, while crowds up looked spellbound.

Soon after Sovereign Can, without a throe,

Cay passed away, bewailed by high and low.

Around his flaming pyre, bowed in the dust,

All wept for him in whom they'd put their trust.

Can's first-born son then filled the Pontiff's place;

Thenceforth he would by every means efface

The jealous hatred rankling in Aac's mind;

But he alas! with passion grew more blind;

For now that Móo was Queen, and consort Coh,

Her love he ne'er could win, nor him o'erthrow.

To Móo came other joys with baby lips;

Pure bliss from soft caressing finger tips.
