Translation:

During moment that pendulum I.saw.
Sphere hanging that which connected wire-INSTR in roof room-POSS
singing-GEN, move isochronally away and back beautifully. I, like people all
be-able-to-know specialness-ABL breathing-POSS calm, square-root length-POSS
wire-POSS and pi number-PRED, that connects pi and diameter circle-POSS all
makeable despite be like.unreally for mind earth-POSS this, controlled
moment measurement-INSTR more good. Together-working secretly by measurement
without time, oneness-PRED point-POSS suspention-POSS, twoness-PRED
measurements-POSS place-POSS, beginning-PRED group-of-three-POSS pi-POSS,
nature-PRED group-of-four-POSS root-POSS, and beauty-PRED uncountable
self-POSS circle-PRED determined time that sphere needed to move point-ALL

Also I.knew that thing with magnet under center floor-POSS gave-command
cylinder-GEN that one has-hidden in center sphere-POSS so
move.continue.be-able-to that. Thing that surely not damages law
pendulum-POSS, but opposite-of.that: that working that-POSS allowed because
object all that hangs wire-INSTR without weight and air that not

is-able-to-move away and back.
