To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a Head Cook, Optician — Physician, Music Master— Domestic Economist and Death-bed Attorney! — I have celebrated The Author elsewhere with approbation ;— and cannot now place him upon the Table a* a Poet— without st 11 being his LAUDER, a phrase which those persons whose course of classical reading recalls the INFAMOUS FORGERY on the Immortal Bard of Avon .'—will find easy to understand.
Surely, those sages err who teach That man is known from brutes by speech, Which hardly severs man from wo...man, But not th' inhuman from the human — Or else might parrots claim affinity, And dogs be doctors by latinity — Not t' insist (as might be shown) That beasts have gibberish of their own, Which once was no dead tongue, tho' we Since Esop's days have lost the key ; Nor yet to hint dumb men — and, still, not Beasts that could gossip though they will not, But play at dummy like the monkeys, For fear mankind should make them flunkies.
Neither can man be known by feature Or form, because so like a creature, That some grave men could never shape Which is the aped and which the ape, Nor by his gait, nor by his height, Nor yet because he 's black or white, But rational — for so we call The only Cooking Animal !
