To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Incidentally, that s the way rhyme ought to be used in English as well, but it s oh, so much harder! In English, rhyme is a far more powerful weapon than in either French or Italian. Or to change metaphors, it is an herb that should be used in discreet quantities. The use of rhyme overpowers every other flavor! Now the good side of this is that rhyme can be used in English to very striking effect, especially for comic effect, which it is not likely to have in French or Italian. There, rhyme can... be melodious, it can be lyrical, it can be apt, but it can also be bland. Crawford: Moliere used rhyme. Pippin: Yes, and Moliere s lines are wonderfully lively, but it s not the rhyme that makes them so. The rhymes give them shape and equilibrium. In Stiffelio, leaning hard on the original, I used rhyme much more abundantly than I would have later on. The effort was to make the rhymes, particularly the feminine rhymes, not sound comic. Participles are useful, words like attended and befriended, parted and started, et cetera, which no one could accuse of being hilariously funny.
