that_o they_o see_v clear_o by_o day_n because_o the_o day_n light_n run_v into_o these_o dark_a shady_a eye_n and_o move_v and_o enlighten_v the_o spirit_n but_o at_o night_n they_o see_v ill_a and_o

whence_o and_o how_o they_o see_v but_o where_o the_o humour_n of_o a_o man_n eye_n be_v transparent_a and_o clear_a but_o the_o spirit_n be_v small_a slender_a and_o weak_a they_o have_v owl_n eye_n
