To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Leaping back into prosy 32 life, in its fisherman phrase, on the instant, fiercely he pulled upon the line, unci wildly shouted for aid, as the weight of the fish indicated his large size. Up came the dripping- cord, hand over hand. The struggle was fearful ; the cod at one end, the poet at the other ; it was pull, fish ! and pull, bard ! " nip and tuck, " with the result long and ter- ribly in doubt. At length his dexter hand missed the line. Down went the fish again, and down came the poet — ...his eyes in real frenzy — rolling. " Help ! help !" he shouted frantically, as, again recovering the line, he pulled away manfully, the perspiration rolling down his cheeks; and surely none who witnessed our friend's almost despair- ing look of entreaty for aid, as the last few fathoms came in over the boat's side, can ever forget it. But it came ! and with it a noble cod, to reward his toil. To be sure, there was little need of haste or excitement in taking, since, to release the hook, the unfortunate fish had to be turned inside out ; but poets are not always prophets, or seers ; and, in common with ordinary mortals, are subject to these minor errors in judgment; hence, the applause which greeted the conqueror as both he and his captive rolled in- board together, breathless and exhausted, was commensu- rate with the struggle and its momentous results.
