Quantum fuisset beneficium, si timentem
e latebris suis extraxisset et bonum animum habere
iussisset dicens : " Non est ista solis defectio, sed
duorum siderum coitus, cum luna humiliore currens
via infra ipsum solem orbem suum posuit et illum
obiectu sui abscondit ; quae modo partes eius exiguas,
si in transcursu strinxit, obducit, modo plus tegit, si
maiorem partem sui obiecit, modo excludit totius
adspeetum, si recto libramento inter solem terrasque
media successit.
