Poem by Margaret Cavendish

Of the Sympathy of Atomes

BY Sympathy, Atomes are fixed so,
As past some Principles they do not go.
For count the Principles of all their workes,
You'le find, there are not many severall sorts.
For when they do dissolve, and new Formes make,
They still to their first Principles do take.
As Animals, Vegetables, Minerals;
So Aire, Fire, Earth, Water falls. 

1. The Bignesse of Atomes
2. What Atomes Make the Wind Collick
3. In the Center Atomes Never Separate
4. Of Loose Atomes
5. The Weight of Atomes
