Of Air.
The reason, why Air is so equal spread,Is Atomes long, at each end ballanced:
For being Long, their ends alike withall,
Make th'Air as VVeights into just Measures fall;
And let it move, joyn to what Form it will,
Yet lies in every Line that Figure still:
10
And like a Cobweb interwoven run;
And thus Air being thin, so subtile grows,
That into every empty place it goes.
