To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such is the record of past ages, fill'd With tales of woe, by which the heart is chill'd, Deeds from whose dye recoils the sickened mind, And asks, are these the annals of mankind ? E'en at this liberal epoch, when the light Of knowledge beams, and freedom claims he/ right, What relics still of barbarous times remain, And fill the philanthropic breast with pain ! What hordes of slaves some lawless despot own, Bow to his rod, and crouch beneath his throne ! What countless millions struggling to ...be free, Demand in vain the boon of Liberty ! Such, hapless Naples ! such, inglorious Spain, Thy fate ! still doom'd to wear the oppressor's chain, Which hearts ignoble tamely sought to burst, By cowardice and treachery doubly curst ! E'en while I sing, war's hurtling tempest raves On Grecian plains, and o'er the Egean waves ; The flag of freedom from Olympus streams, Through Tempe's vale the blaze of cannon gleams, 19 Around Parnassus' brow the battle rings, And purple currents dye Castalian springs ; To new Plateas modern heroes rush, And new Thermopylae with carnage gush.
