Was set; as long as that endured below,
Desiring thus, he could to earth return
If e’er his soul for mortal life should yearn.
Walled close around, cut from a solid block,

This form Coh’s will alone might bid arise.
The pose it had been given showed regal state,
The boundary lines of Maya Empire great;
