To be dragged by an iron horse along a pair of metal rails on an unvarying route is by no means intrinsically so pleasurable as to travel in one's own conveyance... But when the horse is the source of propulsion the trouble is that the animal is easily tired out and the merciful man must be ever merciful to his beast.

No shout of frenzied mob;
It speeds like demon-driven coach,
Or scorcher on the job.
