To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And draw, drew, drawn, tlay, tiew, tiain, have a right to be put in one class with them ; also ttand, though it now forms its participle like its preterit, stood. Wake and awake either follow the New conjugation throughout, or make the preterits woke and awoke. Stave, in like manner, sometimes forms the preterit ttove, and of wax the participle waxen, instead of waxed, is sometimes met with. 266. In the same manner as ride, rode, ridden, rise, rose, risen, are conjugated also stride, smite, wri...te, drive, strive, and tlirive; but the last is also of the New conjugation. Shine and abide, which should belong to the same class, now form the parti- ciple like the pil'eterit : namely, shone and abode ; and thine is sometimes of the New conjugation. 267. The verbs bite, chide, hide (formerly of the New con- jugation), slide are conjugated thus : bite, bit, bitten or bit. 268. The verb choose, chose, chosen, is a specimen of a class that has become almost extinct. With it we may put freeze, froze, frozen; teethe, tod, todden; but teethe is of rare use, and more usually follows the New conjugation.
