 1     I|   clearly what we seek: those elements~ From which alone all things
 2     I| beholdest in our verses here~ Elements many, common to many worlds,~
 3     I|   ring of sound - so much the elements~ Can bring about by change
 4     I|       somewhat altering their elements,~ Although we mark with
 5     I|    Unto no bodies 'mongst the elements,~ Because there is no bottom
 6     I| spring, to yield,~ Unto those elements whence a world derives,~
 7    II|       blows~ Among the primal elements; and thus~ Nature would
 8    II|      slight swervement of the elements~ In no fixed line of space,
 9    II|       Because 'tis wrought of elements more large,~ Or else more
10    II|   made~ Of smooth and rounded elements, whilst those~ Which seem
11    II|  sharp, are held~ Entwined by elements more crook'd, and so~ Are
12    II|    squeaking saw~ Consists of elements as smooth as song~ Which,
13    II|    with some roughness in its elements.~ Some, too, there are which
14    II|       they indeed must be~ Of elements more smooth and round -
15    II|       here,~ That with smooth elements are mixed the rough~ (Whence

19    II|      and differing shapes~ Of elements. And, chief of all, the
20    II|    their forms, and built~ Of elements dissimilar in shape.~ Again,
21    II|    here in these our verses,~ Elements many, common to many words,~
22    II|   Compounded out of different elements -~ Not since few only, as
23    II|      the other, from all like elements,~ But since they all, as
24    II|     Disjoined from the primal elements,~ If still we wish under
25    II|       be stablished all~ From elements insensate. And those signs,~
26    II|    living things are born~ Of elements insensate, as I say.~ Sooth,
27    II|      Some formed union of the elements,~ Nor any change, unless
28    II|     assign~ Sense also to its elements, what then~ Of those fixed
29    II|     what then~ Of those fixed elements from which mankind~ Hath
30    II|       their turn inquire what elements~ They have themselves, -
31    II|       Must also be from other elements,~ And then those others
32    II|    Compounded out of laughing elements,~ And think and utter reason

36    IV|   voice and words~ Consist of elements corporeal,~ With power to
37    IV|       create;~ Nor have these elements a form the same~ When the
38    IV|      primal parts~ And primal elements, there comes to pass~ By

43    VI|        this force consists of elements~ Both small and smooth,
44    VI|       made~ Of tiny parts and elements so smooth~ That easily they
