Atomes and Motion fall out.
When Motion and all Atomes disagree,Thunder i'th' Air, and Sickness in Men be;
Earth-quakes & Winds, which make disorder great,
Are, when as Motion doth all Atomes beat;
And they great Noise in this confusion make,
For Motion lets them not their places take:
Like frighted Flocks that do together keep,
Which Motion worries, as a Woolf doth Sheep.
