To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

If Shakespeare did confound the two fables, it was no more than his contemporaries did. Steevens quotes an example from Day's comedy of Humour out of Breath, 1608 (Steevens says 1607) : in robes Richer tliaii iliat Avhich Ariadne wroiiglit.
Accordingly, we may see, if we like, Ariadne in Ijoth Ariathna and Ariachne : * but after all it may * Milton made as great a mistake when he attributed to the eglan- Defense of Certain Words and Phrases. 69 have been a custom of the time to write Ariachne f
...or Arachne, if the metre re(juirc(l tlic achJitional syilul)le ; and we know that poets and (h-amatists enjoyed a very wide discretion in the jiresentation of proper names.
The point is of no moment. \\ hat it is of mo- ment for lis to see is that by Ariaohne Shakespeare meant the spider into which Arachne was transformed, and which in Greek bears the same name ; and that tlie v'oo/he meant was finer than was ever produced by hnninn hand, viz. The woof of the spider's web— tliose dehcate transverse filaments wliich cross the main radial threads or warjjs, and which are perhaps the nearest material approach to mathematical lines !
