To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet, eie the westering sun had touched the sea, While swelled the maddening wail, a long array Of white-robed priests swept forth, who called them, near The holy Teocal, once more to pray; Perchance e en yet to sacrifice and prayer Some sign from heaven might come, some hope their hearts to cheer. As when to sudden march, at Moses call, A nation sprang no faltering step delayed Of age or sex ; but forthwith great and small Their homes forsook, and marched where er he bade. So these respond tho ...hopeless and dismayed, And stood in crowds the Teocal around, And watched their priests, as up, with solemn tread, Now hid, now seen, from side to side they wound, Leading aloft to death their victims gaily crowned. Sombre and vast, and midway to the clouds, The pyramid upraised its towering head. Ah ! well the watchers know, when smoke enshrouds That far-een shrine, some quivering heart hath bled ! And well they know a shriek was heavenward sped, That could not reach their ears so far below ! There, woe-begone, on trembling knees they prayed, Till down returned the train with footsteps slow; Their garments crimson-dyed, that went up white as snow.
