The Agility of Water.
VVater is apt to move, since round like Balls,Not points it hath, but trundles as it falls;
This makes the Sea, when like to Mountains high
The Waves do rise, it cannot steddy lye,
But falls again into a Liquid plain,
When Winds disturb it not, there to remain:
Thus watery Balls they are not intermixt,
But stick so close, as nothing is betwixt.
