To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then since is seen by care perplex' d this state, Suff 'rings if varied, still the doom of fate, Does it not prove— since feeble from his birth, Man was not meant for perfect joy on earth ? Nor is it here the meed of Virtue's giv'n, That blest award awaits the good in heav'n, — e3 94 ILLUSTRATIONS OF AFFECTION.
How gain'd ? By reason's mast'ry o'er the will — Passions, desires, that prompt the soul to ill. Yet were from sorrows — cares — life's transit free, Affections — pleasures — love ! woul...d cease to be : Hope is extinct — when satisfied, possest, No future good excites the tranquil breast: Desire is dead — when all acquir'd, to gain, The craving wish, if possible — how vain ! And love ! exempt from hope and fear, desire — Extinguish'd in the breast the sacred fire !
Where then is that which perfect none obtain, Yet from the cradle eager strive to gain ; A restless feeling of imagin'd good, In distance seen, and seldom understood — If nought of hope desire and love to bless, Affections— joys I — ah !
