To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— He came. So state the heralds of his saintship's fame, In a small wicker boat, which drifted 'fore The north wind to the Island. He became Most eminent for piety, and wore Sackcloth, ate roots, drank water, and life's joys forswore. VI. He lived in mountain caves, was most austere, And in the year four hundred ninety-eight, The Manx people, who piety revere. Finding hun godly-minded and sedate. Made him their Bishop ; — such is wayward fate- People from far-off coimtries came to see The man w...hose touch alone would consecrate : St. Bridget, hearing of his sanctity, Keceived from him the veil of her virginity. VII. This village once was a fine noble town, Where pilgrims would resort to Maughold's shrine ; A place in those days of world-wide renown, The saint being thought less only than divine ; Now it has fallen into sad decline : The Church stands on a lofty eminence ; When viewed from oil' the sea, the picture's fine ; A record of the bandit's penitence, That good deeds may secure an earthly recompense.
