For, th’Ocean moueth stil, from place to place;

And euery Riuer still doth ebbe and flowe:

Ne any Lake, that seems most still and slowe,

Ne Poole so small, that can his smoothnesse holde,

When any winde doth vnder heauen blowe;

With which, the clouds are also tost and roll’d;

Now like great Hills; and, streight, like sluces, them vnfold.

So likewise are all watry liuing wights xxi

Still tost, and turned, with continuall change,

Neuer abyding in their stedfast plights.
