To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
how long will mortals dare, To limit God, to ocean, earth or air — Heaven is, where virtue is, and deepest Hell, Within the bosom, where dark passions dwell. Man is his own tormentor, fondly rears The mighty fabric of his hopes and fears, Drinks to the dregs, the cup our follies show, Then calls it suffering in a world of woe. Yet strange to tell, within this house of clay, Proud reason sits and holds undoubted sway, And viewless thought, as active as the wind, Immortal product, of immortal min...d — Let reason die, her voice completely mute, "What art thou then, above thy fellow brute ? He thy superior in strength and power — Would tread upon thee, being of an hour. Go to the patriot of the modern school, Whose love of country is the love of rule. Ask for the ties that bind him to the earth, And truth shall answer, they have yet no birth, Or else confined within a narrow sphere, Point to himself, and say they centre here. Thus circumscribed, his selfish purpose done, He ends the patriot that he once begun.
