But let us turn with true Artistic scorn

From facts funereal and from views forlorn

Of Erebus and Blackest midnight born.[5]

Arouse thee, Muse! and chaunt in accents rich

The interesting processes by which

These are my theme: to these I bend my song.

It runs encased in wood or porous brick

Through copper wires two millimetres thick,

And insulated on their dangerous mission
