What Atomes make the Sun and the Sea go round.
The pointed Atomes all to Fire do turn,And being Sharp, do peirce, which we call burn;
But by their Driness they become so light,
As they do get above the rest in Flight,
Where by consent a Wheel of Fire they make,
Which being Sphærical doth round Motion take,
This Motion makes round Atomes turn about,
Which Atomes round are VVater without doubt,
And makes the Sea go like a Water-mill;
For as the Sun, so Water turns round still.
