To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
” And inanother place he cries out, “[5]Can we not have sound sight withoutbeing at the same time wretched and uneasy? Is there any thing gay buterror? And is reason made for any thing else but to torment and killus?” “[6]What cause have not men to bewail their wretched condition?Nature furnishes them but with a very few things that are agreeable, andtheir reason teaches them how to enjoy them yet less. ” “[7]And why hasNature, in giving us passions which are sufficient to make us happy, given ...us reason, that will not suffer us to be so?” It was this same troublesome reason that made Sophocles say, “[8]It isvery sweet to live, but none of your wisdom, away with her, she spoilslife. ” Vaunt less thy reason, O unhappy man! Behold how useless is this gift celestial, For which, they say, thou should’st the rest disdain. Feeble as thou wert in thy infant days, Like thee she mov’d, she totter’d, and was weak. When age mature arriv’d, and call’d to pleasures, Slave to thy sense, she still was so to thee, When fifty winters, Fate had let thee count; Pregnant with thousand cares and worlds of woes, The hateful issue in thy breast she threw, And now grown old thou loosest her for ever.
