To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Into the former of these towns Maximilian threw himself, with the Swiss in his pay, and a few hundred Lombard horsemen, and was soon blockaded there by the French army. He looked forward to a fate like that of his father, who, thirteen years before, in the same circumstances, had been betrayed by the same confederates in whose hands his destiny now lay. The hostile leaders confidently anticipated the same issue. But the fideUty of the Swiss for once deceived their expectations. In vain the Fren...ch heaped promises upon promises ; the only reply was a sally from the gar- rison. In vain the French artillery battered down the fortifications; the resolution of the Swiss was so far from wavering, that the gates of Novara were con- stantly kept open in defiance. On the second day, when the garrison w^as reduced to the last extremity, the enemy's discharges unexpectedly ceased. The French had raised the siege with precipitation, on intelligence of the approach of a Swiss army, which, however, was detained on its advance by many difficulties.
