And into these are all resolved again;
Earth rarifies to dew; expanding more,
The subtle dew in air begins to soar;
Spreads as she flies, and, weary of the name,
Extenuates still, and changes into flame.
Thus having by degrees perfection won,
Restless, they soon untwist the web they spun,
And fire begins to lose her radiant hue,
Mixed with gross air, and air descends in dew!
And dew condensing, does her form forego,
