To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Well scamper'd, Rob — well whipt, well spurr'd, my boy !
O haste ye. Ranter, haste — rush — gallop to thy joy !
LI.
The pole is gain'd ; his ass's head he turns Southward, to tread the trodden ground again ; Sparkles like flint the cuddy's hoof, and burns. Seeming to leave a smoke upon the plain ; His bitted mouth the foam impatient churns ; Sweeps his broad tail behind him like a train : Speed, cuddy, speed ! O, slacken not thy pace !
Ten minutes more like this, and thou shalt gain the race. 1... CANTO THIRD. 101 LII.
He comes careering on the sounding Loan, With pace unslacken'd hast'ning to the knoll.
And, as he meets with those that hobble on ^^'ith northward heads to gain the ribbon'd pole, Ev'n by his forceful fury are o'erthrown His long-ear'd brethren in confusion droll ; For as their sides he, passing, slightly grazes.
By that collision shock'd, down roll the founder'd asses.
LIII. Heels over head they tumble ; ass on ass They dash, and twenty times roll o'er and o'er, Lubberly wallowing along the grass.
