The following question: “What is Electricity?”

Difficulty of determining nature of Electricity

“Molecular Activity,” say some,

Others when asked say nothing, and are dumb.

Whatever be its nature: this is clear,

The rapid current checked in its career,

Baulked in its race and halted in its course[15]

Transforms to heat and light its latent force:

Conservation of Energy. Proofs of this: no experiment needed

It needs no pedant in the lecturer’s chair
