To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The latter half of his life was an anachronism. He represented the views, the tastes, the feelings, of a century ago ; but he also represented the simple inborn truth, the lofty sentiment of honor, the fine antique courtesy of the Gentleman of that period. In these respects, he needed no element of "progress," — for our day could teach him nothing better Now and then an attempt is made to disparage Hal- leck's services to our literature. His best defence will be found in the memory of the peopl...e, who ask for no criticism when they know what they like. For fifty years they have read and recited " Marco BozKaris," " Burns," and " Bed Jacket," and they will continue to do so for fifty years to come. " What young men are sure to like," said a great poet, " cannot fail to live ; for there will always be young men in the world." Add " Alnwick Castle," " Connecticut," and the lyric rosebud dropped on the grave of Drake, and we have six universally-known and permanent poems of Halleck, as many as Gray or Collins gave to the English peo- ple.
