All things are Govern'd by Atomes.
Thus Life and Death, and Young and Old,Are, as the several Atomes hold;
Wit, Understanding in the Brain,
Are, as the several Atomes reign;
And Disposition good, or ill,
Are as the several Atomes still;
And every Passion which doth rise,
Is, as each sort of Atomes lies:
Thus Sickness, Health, and Peace and Warr,
Are, as the several Atomes are.
