To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And such is life : on, on, we go, 'Mid rose and thorn, 'mid weal and woe ; Such is our destiny below.
Pilgrim ! what end dost thou pursue ?
Earth's honors fade like morning dew : Keep thou a glorious one in view.
Ill EPISTLE.
Time ! Time ! thou covetous old tyrant, stay !
Why dost purloin so rapidly away Days, weeks, and months, with all that's fair and sweet ?
A little longer leave them, I entreat.
Stay now, suspend thy flight, I beg of thee ; And hear a lecture sage and good from me.
How coul...dst thou steal so many joyous hours From summer's gay, enchanting, rosy bowers, And e'en from autumn's wreath of dazzling hue Select some gems of brightest lustre too, Ere I had written to one dear to me In days long past, when I thought not of thee ?
Indeed, I meant, ere these thefts were, to write, As thou must know, thou old, bald-headed sprite !
Alas, alas ! how much thou steal' st away !
Roses from beauty, pleasures from the gay.
Friends from the loving, buoyant hopes from youth ; All thou canst lay thy hands upon, forsooth ; 112 Dimples and smiles, and pretty ringlets bright, — All, all, thou bearest with thee in thy flight.
