To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His father was a gentleman, but, we presume, poor, as his sonwas bred to a profession. Young Vaughan became first a lawyer, and thena physician; and we suppose, had it not been for his advanced life, hewould have become latterly a clergyman, since he grew, when old, exceedingly devout. In life, he was not fortunate, and we find him, likeChamberlayne, complaining bitterly of the poverty of the poetical tribe. In 1651, he published a volume of verse, in which nascent excellencestruggles with dim ...obscurities, like a young moon with heavy clouds. Buthis 'Silex Scintillans, ' or 'Sacred Poems, ' produced in later life, attests at once the depth of his devotion, and the truth and originalityof his genius. He died in 1695.
Campbell, always prone to be rather severe on pious poets, and whosetaste, too, was finical at times, says of Vaughan--'He is one of theharshest even of the inferior order of the school of conceit; but he hassome few scattered thoughts that meet the eye amidst his harsh pages, like wild flowers on a barren heath.
