The Motion of the Sea.
The Sea's more quick, then fresher Waters are,The reason is, more Vitall Spirits are there.
And as the Planets move still round about,
So Seas do ebb, & flow, both in, & out.
As Arrowes flye up, far as strength them lend,
And then for want of strength do back descend.
71
For want of strength, their length for to maintaine.
But why they ebb, and flow, at certain times,
Is like the Lungs that draw, and breath out wind.
Just so do Seas draw back, and then do flow,
As constant as the Lungs do to and fro:
Alwaies in motion, never lying still,
The empty place they leave, turn back to fill.
