Motion directs while Atomes Dance.
Atomes will in just Measures dance, and joynAll one by one in a round Circle line,
Run in and out, as we do dance the Hay,
Crossing about, yet keep just time and way,
Whilst Motion doth direct; and thus they dance,
And meet all by consent, not by meer chance:
This Consort's Health, which Life depends upon,
But when 'tis out, 'tis Death; So Dancing's done.
