CATASTASIS

At Catalani's song the angels glode
Earthward to listen: so at Robyn's Feast
My Muse, that somewhat catadoxly rode,
Had power lent back to effort had increased
The high cat-asterism. Rob's abode
Were now Catabibazon, at the least.
 

Catastasis is the climax preceding the conclusion. Catalani, in religion S. Cecilia. Catadoxly, passing the experiences of other poets or those of my own youth. Cat-asterism, the Catalogue of Stars. Catabibazon, the place of most starry honour in the south node of the Great Dragon his taile.
