To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whate'er is trite, minute, abrupt, or dry, Where light meets shade in flat equality ; Each theme fantastic, filthy, vile, or vain, That gives the soul disgust, or senses pain ; Monsters of barbarous birth, Chimeras drear, That pall with ugliness, or awe with fear. And all that chaos of sharp broken parts, Where reigns confusion, or whence discord starts. Yet hear me, youths ! while zealous ye forsake Detected faults, this friendly caution take, — Shun all excess ; and with true wisdom deem, Tha...t vice alike resides in each extreme. Know, if supreme perfection be your aim, If classic praise your pencil hope to claim. Your noble outlines must be chaste, yet free, Connected all with studied harmony ; Few in their parts, yet those distinct and great ; Your Colouring boldly strong, yet softly sweet. Know, he that well begins has half achiev'd His destin'd work. Yet late shall be retriev'd That time mispent, that labour worse than lost, The young disciple, to his dearest cost. Gives to a dull preceptor's tame designs; His tawdry colours, his erroneous lines, Will to the soul that poison rank convey, Which life's best length shall fail to purge away.
