How News must feel when travelling 1
If News have any Heart
Alighting at the Dwelling
'Twill enter like a Dart!
What News must think when pondering 5
If News have any Thought
Concerning the stupendousness
Of its perceiveless freight!
What News will do when every Man 9
Shall comprehend as one
And not in all the Universe
A thing to tell remain?
