Of the Sympathy of these four Principal Figur'd Atomes.

In every Figure is such Sympathy,
As it makes every sort together fly;
As for example, Earth, Air, Water, Fire,
Which make each Element to be intire;
Not, but Loose Atomes stray like Sheep about,
And go to several places in and out,
And some, as Sheep and Goats do joyn together,
And when they mix, 'tis several change of weather;
But Motion as their Shepheard drives them so,
As not to let them out of Order go.
 

Long, Round, Sharp, and Flat.
