To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps the Dutch hearts may have been grimly amused to think that the images, to whom Philip could not make them pray, should protect them from his cannon balls.
CAPTURE OF HAARLEM 139 After his guns had been three days at work, Frederick ordered an assault, sure that the walls must by this time be knocked to pieces. The men of Haarlem were on the watch. The church-bells gave the alarm and brought everyone to the ramparts to repel the foe. The Spaniards met more than the regulation shot and sw...ord. They were welcomed by unpleasant necklaces made of fiery hoops smeared with pitch, by heavy stones and live coals and boiling oil. Julian Romero, who had expected to blow upon Haarlem and see it fall like a house of cards, could scarcely credit his senses when he was obliged to sound a retreat. He left three hundred men behind him, dead or wounded, while the Dutch lost only four.
The Prince of Orange, straining every nerve to save Haarlem, had raised another army and sent it, under Batenberg, to the city.
