NOTE: Note: derivation of eclipse => back formation from Old English eclypsis, from Latin eclipsis, from Greek ekleipsis a forsaking, from ekleipein to abandon.

Hence JC etc.

Listen to poem:
Humble moon hid sun from view; earthlings forsaken shaken. Saw eclipse at dusk, when sun set, then rose at night. Saw eclipse at dawn when sun rose, twice in morn. Sun forlorn, occulted.
