To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
92 The fruit of legal hire, In crafty warfare waged with cautious pen, To thwart the plottings held by knavish men, yield it to the fire I The plans for future gain By sanguine hearts propounded long ago ; Records of loss, of travel to and fro, And labour's busy train, Sweep, as from fallen trees, Such leaves aside, for value they have none ; New annals open with each New- Year's sun, And no man needeth these. Out of the doomed heap "What shall we winnow for a few short days Of respite from the... annihilating blaze, Waiting o'er all to creep ? The phrases which unfold Some poor man's gratitude for timely aid, Or ready counsel that his fears allayed, When other friends looked cold. The kindly interchange Of Christian thought and hope, with some who knew His confidence in Grod, serene and true, No trial could estrange. 93 And cull with tenderest care, The half-confessions, veiled in playful mirth. Of love and longing for his own bright hearth, And those who clustered there. For business nought avails Him who with earth's activities hath done.
