To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
185 By love instructed, first the shepherd found The soothing sympathies of sense and sound ; Learn'd his soft sighs in numbers to exhale.
And tuned to melody his artless tale : For though the savage oft, in quest of blood, \go Had how I'd his war song through the echoing wood ; 57 And oft to measured sounds had learn'd to advance, In the rude mazes of the mimic dance ; Yet no rich images, by fancy dress'd.
Or pleasing sentiments, the song express'd : 195 In strains of death alone its frenzy ro...se.
And only breathed defiance to his foes : But the fond shepherd, as his eye survey 'd The peaceful world, in pleasure's charms array'd, And felt, as nature bade the seasons roll, 200 Still brightening visions dawn upon his soul ; At leisure generalized each rising thought.
And memory's forms with fancy's colours wrought ; And, as his soul's first passion still was love.
With every grace to please its object strove ; 205 And every winning artifice display 'd.
To melt the dear, capricious, wanton maid.
