Proof to No Purpose

 You see this grntle stream that glides, 
Shoved on, by quick-succeeding tides: 
Try if this sober stream you can 
Follow to th' wider ocean, 
And see, if there it keeps unspent 
In that congesting element. 
Next, from that world of waters, then 
By pores and caverns back again 
Induct that inadultrate same 
Stream to the spring from whence it came. 
This with a wonder when ye do, 
As easy, and else easier too: 
Then ye may recollect the grains 
Of my particular remains, 
After a thousand lusters hurled, 
By roughing winds, around the world.
