To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And there were eyes in Berkley Hall, That, bright before, were now more bright, Young breasts that in their rise and fall Were thrilled with uncontrolled delight. Yet there beneath the Berkley roof Were looks that angered at the proof, Dark, sullen brows, which seemed to say The morn would bring a hateful day. Twas hard to see the old reins slip From out their doting monarch s grip ; And so, to nerve them for the worst, The purple flask must cheer the hour, That they at least might slake their ...thirst For wine, if not for tyrant power.
" To-morrow, Colonel, you depart :" This was the greeting of Sir Hugh.
" Believe me when I say my heart Is sad to part with such as you.
I hoped ere this but hopes are vain : There is a higher Wisdom rules : Though wise his ways, they are not plain : Tis strange, and yet He sometimes deigns THE ALLEGHANTES. 231 To give an empire s guiding reins Into the hardy hands of fools : I hoped ere this that hope at least Holds good, and shall not be denied To see my family-board increased, To see my daughter at your side A lovely and contented bride.
