Ode to Otto von Guericke and Francis
Haukesbee's
Frictional Spherical Globe Static Electric Machines!
I dedicate this machine to a great

Spin spin
Hiss hiss
Crackle crackle
Spark Spark
Spin Spin
Hiss hiss
A rub of the hand
t'will glow in the dark
Spin spin
Hiss hiss
Virtue of attraction,
a Mercurial kiss!
