To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deaf to all pleas, the lawless lynchers take The trembling victim to the dreadful stake ; Devoid of mercy chain with eager hands, Apply the torch and heap the burning brands; While dying shrieks re-echo on the night, And shamed Columbia trembles at the sight. For deeds like this, just punishment awaits Within the pale of Satan s hopeless gates. A nd yet perchance, such acts we d ne er endure If crimes were punished and the courts were pure. It is the gloomy ever-haunting fear Of truth perverted... and corruption near ; The dread that guilty scoundrels may avoid Their just deserts by legal tricks employed, That rouses savages with vengeful ire To murder prisoners with noose or fire. No land can be from violence exempt When its Judiciary invites contempt, And Law, the wise foundation of a state, Becomes an object of distrust and hate. Riparian * From east to west our husbandmen complain Wrongs. Of rivers stolen from our wide domain, Where use of streams which God for all supplied, Are to the planters on the banks denied.
