To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Religion pervades intensely the whole frame of society, and isaccording to the temper of the mind which it inhabits, a passion, apersuasion, an excuse, a refuge; never a check. Cenci himself built achapel in the court of his Palace, and dedicated it to St. Thomas theApostle, and established masses for the peace of his soul. Thus in thefirst scene of the fourth act Lucretia's design in exposing herself tothe consequences of an expostulation with Cenci after havingadministered the opiate, was to ...induce him by a feigned tale toconfess himself before death; this being esteemed by Catholics asessential to salvation; and she only relinquishes her purpose when sheperceives that her perseverance would expose Beatrice to new outrages. I have avoided with great care in writing this play the introductionof what is commonly called mere poetry, and I imagine there willscarcely be found a detached simile or a single isolated description, unless Beatrice's description of the chasm appointed for her father'smurder should be judged to be of that nature.
