Poem by Margaret Cavendish

What Atomes Make Change

TIS severall Figur'd Atomes that make Change,
When severall Bodies meet as they do range.
For if they sympathise, and do agree,
They joyne together, as one Body bee.
But if they joyne like to a Rabble-rout,
Without all order running in and out;
Then disproportionable things they make,
Because they did not their right places take. 

1. The Bignesse of Atomes
2. Of Sharpe Atomes
3. Of Loose Atomes
4. Of the Sympathy of Atomes
5. Motion Directs, While Atomes Dance
