WHAT IS LIQUID: NO DOUBT by MARGARET LUCAS CAVENDISH

First Line: ALL THAT DOTH FLOW WE CANNOT LIQUID NAME
Last Line: BUT 'TIS THE WET THAT MAKES IT DIE, NO DOUBT.
Subject(s): MNEMONICS;
ALL that doth flow we cannot liquid name,
Or else would fire and water be the same;
But that is liquid which is moist and wet;
Fire that propriety can never get:
Then 'tis not cold that doth the fire put out,
But 'tis the wet that makes it die, no doubt.
