Upon Sir John Laurence's bringing Water over the hills to my L. Middlesex his House at Witten.
And is the Water come? sure't cannot be,It runs too much against Philosophie;
For heavy bodies to the Centre bend,
Light bodies only naturally ascend.
How comes this then to pass? The good Knights skill
Could nothing do without the Waters will:
Then 'twas the Waters love that made it flow,
For Love will creep where well it cannot go.
