Put . This is an elliptic function. Its only possible poles modulo are and the three simple zeros of . At such a nonzero half-period, periodicity and evenness give , so
It follows that with no simple-pole term. This is exactly the principal part of .
At zero the source expansion yields
Consequently , again matching . Thus is a holomorphic function on a compact connected Riemann surface, hence constant. Its limit at zero is zero, proving
The equality extends over the apparent singularities as an identity of meromorphic functions.
