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

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 skill5Could 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.
