To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The man, thus great and happy, in the scope Of his large mind is stretch'd beyond his date. Ev'n on this shore of being he in thought, 132 Supremely bless'd, anticipates the good, Which late posterity from him derives. ' At length the hero's meditations close. The swelling transport of his heart subsides In soft oblivion j and the silken plumes Of sleep envelope his extended limbs. LEONIDAS. BOOK XI. THE ARGUMENT. Leonidas, rising before sun-set, dismisses the forces under the command of Medon;... but, observing a reluctance in him to depart, reminds him of his duty, and gives him an affectionate farewell. He then relates to his own select band a dream, which is interpreted by Me- gistias; arms himself, and marches, in procession with his whole troop, to an altar newly raised on a neighbouring meadow ; there offers a sacrifice to the muses: he invokes the assistance of those goddesses ; he animates his companions ; then, placing himself at their head, leads them against the enemy in the dead of the night.
