Of Infinite Matter.

If Matter be no more, than we do see
This World, I pray, what must beyond it be?
For sure this World is limited and bound,
And like a Ball is made in Compass round;
But Matter, out of which the World is made,
If Infinite, then more Worlds may be said;
Nay, Infinites of Worlds there may be found,
If Infinite of Matter has no bound.
