What Atomes make Heat and Cold.
Such kind of Atomes as make Heat make Cold,Like Pincers sharp that nip and do take hold;
For sharply pointed Atomes thorow go,
And Atomes which are Sharp and Hookt pull to;
Yet all must into pointed Figures turn;
For Atomes blunt will never freeze nor burn,
Because to a soft Form blunt Figures bend,
And soft doth unto Wet or Liquid tend.
