whereof > of which

3 Which, when form and feature it does catch, 4 Becomes a body, and does then invade

invade > enter (SUS); intrude upon

5 The state of life, out of the grisly shade.

grisly > horrible, fearsome

6 That substance is eterne, and bides so,

eterne > eternal bides > remains

7 Nor when the life decays, and form does fade, 8 Does it consume, and into nothing go,

consume > waste away
