To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Gladly I follow his beck : he seems a worthy young fellow, " Doubtless his parents too, as beseems such rich people, are worthy. "So dearest friend adieu ! take heart from the sight of your baby, " In whose laughing eyes already the health-fires sparkle : " Clasp the wee fop to your breast in his gay-colour'd clothes, and be thankful " To this honest youth, who having thus amply enrich'd you, " Promises now to provide your friend too with victuals and clothing. " You, dear Sir !" she continue...d, addressing the Judge : " who have ever " Been a father to me, — receive the thanks of an orphan.'' Then kneeling down by the side of the weeping woman, she kiss'd her. And on her tremulous lips read the blessing inaudibly whisper'd. Listen to what the good Judge meanwhile is saying to Hermann. " Friend, I see you are one of those sensible men among landlords, " Who make a point of securing intelligent people to help them. " For I have often observ'd how close and anxious a study " Men will make of the horse or cow they would purchase or barter, " But when the moment comes for choosing their household depen- dants.
