[eclip]sar el Sol, nunca más alumbrará. Ponerse han perpetuas tinieblas, y descenderán las demonios. Vendránnos a comer."
\nCuando la Luna nuevamente nace, parece como un arquito de alambre delgado. Aún no resplandece; poco a poco va creciendo. A los quince días es llena; y cuando ya es llena, sale por el oriente a la puesta del Sol. Parece como una rueda de molino grande, muy redonda y muy colorada. Y cuando va subiendo, se para blanca o resplandeciente; parece como un conejo en medio della. Y si no hay nubes, resplandece casi como el Sol, casi como de día. Y después de llena cumplidamente, poco a poco se va menguando, hasta que se va a hacer como cuando comenzó. Dicen entonces: "Ya se muere la Luna; ya se duerme mucho." Esto es cuando sale ya con el alba. Al tiempo de la conjunción dicen: "Ya es muerta la Luna."
