To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pale as the boy “The god appear'd: he rais'd his fainting limbs, “And in his arms now cherishes, now wipes “The fatal wound, now stays his fleeting breath, “With herbs apply'd; but all his arts are vain; “Incurable the hurt. Just so, when broke, “The violet, poppy, or the lily hang, “Whose dark stems in a water'd garden spring; “Flaccid they instant droop; the weighty head “No longer upright rais'd, but bent to earth. “So bent his dying face; his neck, bereft “Of vigor, heavy on his shoulder la...id. “Phœbus exclaim'd;--Fall'st thou, Œbalian youth, “Depriv'd of life in prime? and must I see “Thy death my fault? thou art my grief, my crime; “My hand the charge of thy destruction bears: “I am the cause of thy untimely fate! “But what my crime? unless with him to sport; “Unless a fault it were too much to love. “Would I could life for thee, or with thee quit; “But fatal laws restrain me: yet shalt thou “Be with me still; dwell ever on my lips; “My hand shall sound thee on the lyre I touch; “My songs of thee shall tell: a new-found flower “Shall bear the letters which my griefs resound: “And time shall come, when a most valiant chief “Shall join him to thy flower; in the same leaf “His name too shall be read.
