To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am no trumpet, but a reed ; No nattering breath stall from me lead A silver sound, a hollow sound : I will not ring, for priest or king, One blast that in re-echoing Would leave a bondsman faster bound, ii. I am no trumpet, but a reed, — A broken reed, the wind indeed Left flat upon a dismal shore ; Tet if a little maid or child Should sigh within it, earnest-mild This reed will answer evermore. m. I am no trumpet, but a reed ; Go, tell the fishers, as they spread Their nets along the river's... edge, I will not tear their nets at all, Nor pierce their hands, if they should fall : Then let them leave me in the sedge. THE DEAD PAN. Excited by Schiller's ' Gotter Griechenlands, ' and partly founded on a well-known tradition mentioned in a treatise of Plutarch (' De Oraculorum Defectu'), according to which, at the hour of the Saviour's agony, a cry of ' Great Pan is dead ! ' swept across the waves in the hearing of certain mariners, — and the oracles ceased. It is in all veneration to the memory of the deathless Schiller, that I op- pose a doctrine still more dishonouring to poetry than to Christianity.
