To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then rouse thee, noble man, for thou hast had the courage to strike at a monarch, who, like a deadly disease corrupted the body of this glorious country. Yes, thou hast aimed the blow, even knowing it would cut one of thy own heart-strings in the stroke ; but the traitor yet is spared, couldst thou have transfixed him where he stood, and set thy native land free from her thral- dom, instead of being a theme for grief, it would have made thy name as shining and imperishable with futurity, as the... white im- mortal peak of lofty Orizaba. No, Guatemozin, let not thy soul be sorrowful ; if ever honor lit the warrior's shield, it burns on thine ; if ever patriot soul had cause for pride, that soul is thine, which, bursting through the common ties f kindred blood, strikes for a nation and a nation's rights ! If ever warrior's name were honorable, 'tis thy desert ; and if it is ever justified to strike aside the white angel wing of peace, and spread forth the scarlet pinions of war, it is when aggression sends her swarming legions to desolate the holy happiness of home !" While these parties were thus conversing within the palace, two figures glided along the bank of the canal under the shadow of the night, and stood gazing in at a window, which was screened by a thick, creeping honeysuckle.
