To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hail ! Genius brilliant, whose extended view, ^ Thy country's honour, and her welfare knew !
Too thin their flimsy veil to blind thine eyes, Thy hand stretched forth, the subtle cobweb flies, And modem Carthage's foundations rise : Most meet the ancient site thy wisdom chose.
Round which as centre Eastern traffick flows ; Where health has fixed her home, and pleasure reignif, And Commerce, join'd with freedom,laughs^t chains.* Canst thou, bright fancy, in prospective scene, Raise by thy magic t...ouch th' impervious screen That veils the future from our anxious gaze, — Involved in darkness and distorting haze, — And show this spot, now clad in humble brown, Grown rich in palaces, a populous town ?
Commanding, on yon hill, wi|h haughty mien And gay attire, the chief 's abode is seen : With bristling guards the front of heavy train, ^ Rearward to flank the battery on the plain.
Where seated in the midst, from all retired, A temple stands \m grandeur, lofty spired, The magnet sacred that unites the whole, — The fount that strengthens and refines the soul !
