To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dewing the nightly pillow with its tears, Alas, that sorrow but the more endears !
LXXIL Cold hearts reserve such tribute for the dead, The first and latest shed in that last loss ! The requiem sung, the ceremony said, The marble plac'd 'tis done ! these throw a gloss (Especially the " Sables " if well made !) Over appearances all is but dross ; Is it a wife ? the feast and funeral o'er, What then ? Why take another, to be sure !
LXXIII.
'Tis the world's fashion, and it mocks the breach, Becaus...e it is a thing extremely rare ; The pang that cuts keen hearts, can never reach The frozen bosom ! and the secret tear, Dissolv'd from feelings that you cannot teach, Though hourly shed, must be conceal'd with care, 104 THE GREEK GIRL.
By those who would not wear upon their sleeve Their hearts for "daws to peck at" 'tis their leave.
LXXIV.
" They jest at scars, that never felt a wound, " And for the simple reason, they've no feeling; But the time will come when these bosoms, bound On Ixion's wheel, shall undergo a peeling Will find a voice, like cry of beaten hound ; The stringent castigation, sharp, but healing, Of Phlegethon, attemper'd in his ire, Where erring spirits are reclaim'd by fire !
