“‘Oh tell me, when along the line

From my full heart the message flows,

What currents are induced in thine?

One click from thee will end my woes!’

“Through many an Ohm the Weber flew,

And clicked this answer back to me—

‘I am thy Farad, staunch and true,

Charged to a Volt with love for thee.’”

[Note by the Editor.—Ohm, standard of electric resistance; Weber, electric current; Volt, electro-motive force; Farad, capacity (of a condenser).]
