Till both their proper Elements do touch.

The soul compared to a river.

And as the moisture which the thirsty earth

Sucks from the sea, to fill her empty veins;

From out her womb at last doth take a birth,

And runs, a Nymph! along the grassy plains:

Long doth she stay, as loath to leave the land,

From whose soft side, she first did issue make:

She tastes all places! turns to every hand!
