 1     I| wandering courses of the sun and moon;~ To scan the powers that
 2    II|     stars that wander o'er,~ The moon, the radiance of the splendour-sun:~
 3    II|       the same~ That earth, sun, moon, and ocean, and all else,~
 4    IV|     heaven. And likewise sun and moon~  Seem biding in a roadstead, -
 5     V|      stars, and sun, and ball of moon;~ And then what living creatures
 6     V|       And the meanderings of the moon, lest we,~ Percase, should
 7     V|        sky, sea, constellations, moon,~ Must dure forever, as
 8     V|        must suppose that sun and moon~ And stars dart forth their
 9     V|       and courses of the sun and moon,~ I'll now in order tell.
10     V|         the stars, the sun,~ And moon, and ramparts of the mighty
11     V|          the origins~ Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in
12     V|       And whether the journeying moon illuminate~ The regions
13     V|        their bigness. Wherefore, moon,~ Since she presents bright
14     V|        Cancer; nor~ How 'tis the moon is seen each month to cross~
15     V|       signs that blaze;~ And the moon lags even tardier than the
16     V|    Therefore it happens that the moon appears~ More swiftly to
17     V|        too,~ We must suppose the moon and all the stars,~ Which
18     V|        new daybreak born.~ ~ The moon she possibly doth shine
19     V|     those men hold who feign the moon to be~ Just like a ball
20     V|      Some reason to suppose that moon may roll~ With light her
21     V|          Then, again,~ Why a new moon might not forevermore~ Created
22     V|          day that bright created moon~ Might not miscarry and
23     V|      marvel, if at fixed time~ A moon is thus begotten and again~
24     V|       the sun's eclipses and the moon's~ Far occultations rightly
25     V|          indeed,~ Why should the moon be able to shut out~ Earth
26     V|      turn~ Have power to rob the moon of light, and there,~ Herself
27     V|         hid beneath,~ Whilst the moon glideth in her monthly course~
28     V|          power to under-pass the moon,~ Or glide along above the
29     V|          asunder?~ And still, if moon herself refulgent be~ With
30     V|      courses of the sun~ And the moon's goings, and by what far
31     V|     Across the sky night and the moon are seen~ To roll along -
32     V|        are seen~ To roll along - moon, day, and night, and night'
33     V|          journeyings~ Of sun and moon, O then into our breasts,~
34     V|       waves of war.~ But sun and moon, those watchmen of the world,~
