If you do not mind using proverbs then you could also code as follows,
pov=: 4 : ' '']'',~ , x ([,'' '',~])&> (''^:''<@,"1 ]) ":,. y'
(('(1&+)';'(+%:@|)') pov 2 3) ,&.": 5
15.0766274
u0=. 1&+
u1=. +%:@|
(u0`u1 pov 2 3) ,&.": 5
15.0766274

Thanks to all who responded.
One of the solutions I had was the same as Hodgkinson, be it with a
for-loop.
The second solution of Miller I liked most, for its elegance.
Since I don't like the lengthy solutions (with #), I think I stick to the
straightforward
(('(1&+)';'(+%:@|)') pov 2 3) ,&.": 5
15.076627
with
('(1&+)';'(+%:@|)') pov 2 3
(1&+)^:2 (+%:@|)^:3]
and
pov=: 4 : ' '']'',~ , x ,&> (''^:''<@,"1 ]) ":,. y'
