What do the following lines mean: Then God be blest, it [is] the blessed sun. / But sun it is not, when you say it is not, / And the moon changes even as your mind. / What you will have it named, even that it is, / And so it shall be so for Katherine."
It is not the sun that is shining. You change your mind so much, so I will not agree with you.
It is the sun when you say it is, but if you think it is the moon then you are wrong. I will not agree with you because you do not make sense.
It is not the sun when you say it is not the sun, and the moon changes to what you believe it is. Whatever you say is what I will believe.
I will not agree with you no matter what you want me to believe.
