This can be derived from 2:8:2:3, an alternative reading of stanza 1, which, however, is not mutually exclusive of the above analysis;(5) it lays emphasis on the position of the symmetry created by the repeated couplet which exposes the eight intervening lines (so, 8:2) and also emphasizes that Dryden's universe is complete after twelve lines, leaving three at the end, and therefore illustrating 8:2 and 12:3 (both 4:1), the proportion of the double octave.
