Gaderian of Sonne and Mone

eyne turn upwards as the espousal of sonne and mone begins

champaign where the average chapman and compeer meet, with the peeler, the peterman, picaroon, poltroon and piepowder on the back of a palfrey

laud and plain over the spectacle and pore on, the

imminent the puissant but scruple smiting of the sonne's shine, as

paynim and presbyters pay tribute and attribute the swith shift in solar disruption to something greater

sable-decked prostrating beneath as the mone excogitates the temporary expiry of its leman

esurient enow, the mone hangs subdued as it passes the sonne
