To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'twas Carthage call'd him as he slept, Yes, he must go — he went — but going, wept !
X.
But what is this ? a grave ? whose earth, but now Seems scoop'd and pil'd upon the hill's green brow ?
THE VESTAL. 47 Yes ; and tliat pond'rous stone there, at the head, The destin'd hingeless portal of the dead. And yet — that gloomy cave would seem full large, And deeply hollow'd, for its single charge ! — Methought, that, even now, I saw a beam Of pallid lustre through its op'ning gleam. — What have we he...re ? — Why, this is mockery ! What need of light and food for those who die ? Why throws, all yellowly, that earthern lamp. Its stifled radiance through the cavern's damp ? And why, beside that low and rude-hewn bed, That solitary cruise, and cake of bread ? And who the inmate of this hearthless home ? — What doth the living, dwelling in the tomb ?
XI.
But see I the city's gate unfolds — and, wide, A multitude pours forth its scatter'd tide. And glittering arms, and robes of priestly white, Glance, as they ope and close upon the sight.
