To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Motley says, "His influence on his audi tors was unexampled in the annals of his country or age. " His memory lost nothing; his ability to read men ranks him with Richelieu; he was cautious, politic, but not slow, though his uni form habit of caution robbed his acts of the fine flavor of spontaneity; he was painstaking, and as 136 A HERO AND SOME OTHER laborious as Philip, which is the last effort of com parison, seeing Philip's industry was all but without precedent. If he flooded coasts and i...n lands by the seas he emptied on them as if the seas were his, he also inundated courts of kings and assemblies of nobles with appeals, remon strances, or letters of instruction or information. He lacked nothing of being ubiquitous, and was the moving spirit of all occasions where liberty had followers. Nothing eluded nor bewildered him, from which observations Motley's estimate stands justified; for he called him "The first statesman of 'his age. " Compare him with Don John of Austria, hero of Lepanto, who was natural son of Emperor Charles V, vivacious, romantic, brilliant, and conqueror of the Turks at Lepanto, whence his name had risen, like a star, to flame at the eastern window of every court in Christendom.
