Then all agreed that Can should Sovereign be.
He earnestly desired they might be free
From failings he deplored in that great State
They’d left, because ’twas threatened by dark fate.
He warned them oft—‘Of luxury and pride
Beware!’—for well he knew how, side by side,
Such foes can plunge the soul of man in mire.
The arrogance of Mu roused Heaven’s ire;
At her debauchery shocked, the gods forth fled;
Deserted thus, in agony she bled.
