And (Memmius) least you thinke I false grounds lay,
When I of fire, ayre, earth and water, say
That each of them is mortall, dayly dies
And doth againe from dissolutions rise.
First know, parts of the earth with the suns heate
Scorcht dayly, and worne out with trav'lers feete,
Exhale thick clouds of dust, which every where
Blowne with wild winds, are scattered into ayre.
Part of the furrows wast with every showre,
And the encroaching floods their banks devoure.
Earth for her part made by her fruitfull womb
The general mother, is the common tomb.
Soe wasts she all which there have birth or food,
Soe is herselfe diminisht and renewd.
