Upon Sir John Laurence's Bringing Water over the Hills to my L. Middlesex his House at Witten

inglés

And is the water come? sure 't cannot be;
It runs too much against philosophy:
For heavy bodies to the centre bend;
Light bodies only naturally ascend.
How comes this then to pass? The good knight's skill5
Could nothing do without the water's will:
Then 'twas the water's love that made it flow;
For love will creep where well it cannot go.
