To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were they ope to our eyes Honor to merit less due might allow; Genius lose cast and succumb — for its guise — Buckskin of Then to the Broadcloth of Now.
90 THE OLD COURT-HOUSE.
Oh, the strange histories, mysteries, fears.
Copied from life on those crowded walls writ !
Destinies dragged from the promise of years, Down to Belshazzar's dark dream of a night !
Jealousies, enmities, hatred, strife, fraud, Innocence slaughtered on perjury's vow, Brother 'gainst brother and man against God — Purchase ...of Then with perdition of Now !
Heaven save the right ! 'twas no crime of the court.
Calling for chide if its issues forged ill !
Justice aimed well if her shafts sped false hurt.
Parried by statutes, not thwart by her will, Jud?es were true, 'twas the law was perverse, Pleaders, as tallied their practice, so too, Jurymen, kept in due caution, no worse — Not a whit. Then — maybe better as Now !
Rend the old temple, then, crush it amain.
Havoc hold riot, spoil, ravage, consume; Let the shire's loss be the marketman's gain ; Hucksters dole fish where their " Honors " dealt doom; So may its dust, with a civil grace boast Grander renown than its lasting might show, Nor the stark dome in the stately be lost.
