To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Peasantry took on the habit and gait of slaves. The voice of orators was heard only in subdued complaints ; the clang of arms had ceased. Even the National Harp, that still retained its ancient sweetness, though trodden under foot by tyrants, forgot the wild inspiration of Freedom, and only gave forth plaintive notes when struck by the hand of Despair. " Alas for our Country ! Her pride has gone by, And the spirit is broken that never would bend ; O'er the ruin her children in secret must s...igh, For 'tis treason to love her, and death to defend. " If a hope could have arisen in the patriot's heart, it would have been dispelled by a glance at the condi- tion of England. She had made ample reprisals in the West Indies, in North America, in Asia, in Africa, and in the South Seas, for the loss of the thirteen re- 24 bellious colonies ; Waterloo had prostrated at her feet her great natural enemy; Spain had entered on her dotage: Holland had relinquished her ambition. The British Navy held almost undisputed sway over the seaSj and British garrisons encircled the globe.
