To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perchance a Roman thus would say : " Thy ancient gods now with us stay.
Digitized by CjOOQ IC ARSIESIS, 57 Our priests Osiris did invoke, And straightway then his image spoke." Now when such words as these were said, Th' Egyptian priests did shake the head And then this mystic answer give, " Our gods ne'er on the Earth did live.' By images, at first, 't was meant The gods unseen to represent, (Which in our day 't is plain to see That it doth very dangerous be,) As emblems they were soon forgot....
And then were things which they were not.
So thus it was the knowledge true Was then confined to the few ; And superstitions they did wield Did to the priests great power yield.
Tho' happiness, like unto flowers.
Doth flourish oft *neath Fortune's showers.
Yet with the priest it seemed instead That joy from out his life had fled.
And thus 't had been e'er since the night Digitized by CjOOQ IC 58 ARSIESIS, When Cleopatra saw that sight, And in that mighty house of stone, They had together stood alone.
