To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Good sooth ! there is a young and dainty maid I dearly love, a minstrel she by trade; What then ? Must I defer to pedant rule. And own that love transforms me to a fool ? Not I, so help me ! By the gods I swear, The nymph I love is fairest of the fair. Must I not love her then 1 Let the dull sot "Who made the law obey it, — I will not."
