A missile from Orion’s belt,

Some dullard chiseled out of clay;

Perchance some treasure, Glancus owned,

Before his Furies ran away.

The throne of Neptune washed ashore

From some old chamber of the sea;

A Dryad-altar, pagan-blest,

An aerolite, lo! such it be!

Made sacred by the pounding waves,

To mark the aeons on the slopes
