To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot proceed to the events of the recent past and the present without adverting to the gallant men who were so long of our number, but who have now gone to their last home ; for no small portion of the glory of which we boast was reflected fpom such men as Taylor, Worth, Brady, Brooks, Totten, and Duncan.
There is a sad story of Venetian history that has moved many a heart and often employed the poet's pen and painter's pencil. It is of an old man whose long lif^ was gloriously spent in the... service of the state as a warrior and a statesmin, and who, when his hair was white and his feeble limbs could scarce carry his bent form toward the grave, attained the highest honors that a Venetian citizen could reach.
He was Doge of Venice. Convicted of trea- son against the state, he not only lost his life but suffered besides a penalty which will en- dure as long as' the name of Venice is remem- bered. The spot where his portrait should have hung in the great hall of the Doge's pal- ace was veiled with black, and there still re- mains the frame with its black mass of canvas ; and this vacant frame is the most conspicuous in the long line of eflfigies of illustrious Doges !
