Of Dews and Mists coming from the Earth.
Some Atomes sharp thrust from the Earth some round,And then a Pearled dew lies on the ground;
But if on their sharp Points they bear them high,
They being rais'd a Mist make in the Skie.
On the Circumference of th'Earth there lies
A number of loose Atomes, apt to rise,
Though not so high, as them the Sun may burn,
For being dull, they back to Earth return:
As water which is shov'd with force of strength,
Is not so apt to move as run at length.
