In order to acquire the maximum power
In cases of disease or injury of the brain
Through the violent but pur­poseless movements of a drunken man
Too strong a current tends to raise the pitch

Having been in precisely the same circumstances at some former time
These muscles must be regularly exer­cised for a short time
And the “most admired disorder” that would be produced is a choir
