To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if, in thy true eagle-like aspirings, The "mousing-owl " of Harvard choke thy choirings ; If, haply, drugged with Tennysonian theme, Thy genius stoop to dally and to dream ; 70 PARNASSUS IN PILLORY. If worse than all fanaticism clods The song which is Humanity's and God's ; Then may no satire of thy being tell ! Then, LOWELL ! to thy fame " a long farewell !" Hark ! WHITTIER'S sledge upon the hearts of men Beats in continual music " ten-pound-ten !" Sworn foe of " institutions patriarchal, ..." Black ground, he finds, gives gems a brighter sparkle. Lo ! how he comes, with earnest heart and loyal, Flanked by his ordnance for a battle royal ; Swinging a club might stagger Hercules, To dash the mites from off a mouldering cheese ; Roaring like Stentor from his brazen throat, To drown some snappish spaniel's yelping note ; Ah, WHiTTiER ! Fighting Friend ! I like thy verse Thy wholesale blessing and thy wholesale curse ; I prize the spirit which exalts thy strain, And joy when truth impels thy blows amain ; PARNASSUS IN PILLORY.
