of the Sun luminary or planetary quality
At, niger obscura Cancer cum nube feretur qua velut exustus Phoebeis ignibus ignis deficit et multa fuscat caligine sidus, lumina deficient partus, geminamque creatis mortem fata dabunt: se quisque et vivit et effert.
‘But when that part of the Crab rises which is dimmed by a sombre cloud, where his own fire fails, as though burnt out by the Sun’s, and darkens the signs with impenetrable fog, the sight of those born then will fail, and fate will condemn them to death twice over: each one buries himself while still alive.’
