To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But on the whole it was deter- mined not to give it fully to the world. Four copies, however, were privately struck off on large paper, one of which I received at the time from the author, and thirty- six more in common octavo, which were at once dis- tributed to other eager friends. But this was by no means enough. A Utile later, therefore, there were printed, with slight alterations, sixty copies more, of which he gave me two, in an extra form, marked with his fair autograph. I know not where... three others are now to be found ; though I trust, from the great contemporary interest in the poem itself, and from its real value, that many copies of it have been saved.
It is written in the versification consecrated by the success of Dryden and Pope; and if it contains lines marked by the characteristics of the early age at which it was produced, there is yet a power in it, a richness of thought, and a graceful finish, of which probably few men at thirty would have been found capable. At any rate, in the hundred and more years during which verse had then been printed in these Colonies and States, not two hundred pages, I think, can now be found, which can be read with equal interest and pleasure.
