To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But these were early days. By February 1682 he was sunning in Court favour, the flattered of literature, for not only D'Urfey and Behn — not to speak of Nat Thompson's rhyme — but even laurelled Dryden stooped to call him fellow-worker 2. He looked for a resumption of those laws and that oJB&ce which had made him once dreaded. Altogether at the age of sixty-five, things stood brighter with him and his party than a year before, lurking in Edinburgh, he had any reason to expect. Such was the aspe...ct of affairs when the issue of the struggle of the Sheriffs election, and the more ominous rumble of the Rye House Plot, apprised the nation that the Whig chiefs had had recourse to methods which in the event of failure could only bring ruin, swift and complete. 1 For a (hostile) list of Roger's emoluments at this period, see New News from Toryland (printed for S. Norman, 1682) : ' Who would not be the Danae of an Ohm-vator to be courted in Golden showers ? From Cambridge, £250 ; from Oxford, £200 ; from Norwich, £170 ; from Salisbury, £90 ; from Bristol, £100 ; Madam Joanna's yearly tribute, £150 ; summa totalis, £960 '.
