“Subtle.”

— No egg but differs from a chicken moreThan metals in themselves.Surly.That cannot be.The egg's ordained by nature to that endAnd is a chicken in potentia.Subtle.The same we say of lead and other metals,Which would be gold if they had time....for 'twere absurdTo think that nature in the earth bred goldPerfect in the instant; something went before.There must be remote matter.- Ben Jonson
