To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet digged the mole, and, lest his ways be found, Workt under ground, - Where did he clutch his prey ; but one did see that policy ; Churches and altars fed him ; perjuries Were gnats and flies ; It rained about him blood and tears ; but he drank them as free. The fearful miser, on a heap of rust Sat pining all his life there, did scarce trust His own hands with the dust; Yet would not place one piece above, but lives In fear of thieves. Thousands there were, as frantic as himself, And hugged e...ach one his pelf ; The downright epicure placed heaven in sense, And scorned pretence ; While others, slipt into a wide excess, Said little less ; The weaker sort, slight, trivial wares enslave, Who think them brave ; And poor, despised Truth sat counting by Their victory. Yet some, who all this while did weep and fi'm^x And sing and weep, soared up into the ring . But most would use no wing. " O fools, " said I, " thus to prefer dark nig! it Before true light !
