To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" 23 Dark was the night, and stillness reign'd around; When, from the shore, a more than mortal sound The trembling steersman by his name address'd, And spoke in aceents wild its sad behest. " Hence to the west thy destin'd course pursue, And as Palodes rises to thy view, Say to the Dryads of her woody shore That Pan, the great, the pow'rful is no more!" Awe-struck, the mariner his course pursu'd, And when his vessel near'd the sacred wood, In order due invok'd the Dryad train, And, as enjoin'd..., rehears'd the mystic strain; When, from each haunted shade and cavern'd dell, Loud piercing shrieks and notes of sorrow swell ; Wild strains of anguish load the rising gale, That now, propitious, fills his bended sail: With haste he spreads his canvas to the wind, And joys to leave the fearful coast behind. 24 Mark on the eastern shore where Parga * lies, And Sulli's f crags in distant prospect rise; The last of ancient Greeks, unknown to fame, Her sons preserv'd th' unconquerable flame That erst on freedom's sacred altar glow'd: Though scant the pittance which their rocks bestow 'd, Content they toil'd; and, dauntless, fought and bled, To guard the spot that scarce supplied them bread.
