the_o sun_n with_o its_o most_o glorious_a beam_n in_o its_o large_a womb_n have_v swallow_v up_o her_o pale_a and_o glimmer_a stream_n by_o which_o he_o body_n be_v make_v dark_a this_o all_o may_v

but_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v in_o its_o sphere_n and_o the_o earth_n body_n also_o be_v as_o dark_a as_o be_v the_o moon_n for_o when_o it_o get_v before_o the_o sun_n the_o moon_n be_v eclipse_v full_a soon_o thus_o nature_n have_v these_o outward_a sign_n that_o in_o their_o sphere_n do_v run_v for_o the_o earth_n body_n do_v eclipse_v the_o moon_n and_o she_o the_o sun_n these_o outward_a
