To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Well, I was about ready to die of fright, but I drew my sword and all along the road I cut and thrust at every shadow until I reached my friend's house. When I entered as pale as a ghost I almost fainted. The sweat was running down my crotch, my 146 Trimalchio's Dinner eyes were fixed, and it was with the greatest difficulty that I was brought to. Melissa wondered at me to think that I was out so late and she said, ' If you 'd only come sooner you might have been of some help to us; for a wolf ...has just entered the grounds and attacked our flocks and made them bleed like a butcher. He did n't get off unhurt, however, for one of my slaves stuck him in the neck with a spear.' After I had heard this I could n't close my eyes ; but as soon as it was bright daylight, I hurried home like a plundered pedlar ; and when I came to the place where the clothes had been turned into stone I found nothing there but a pool of blood. But when I reached home, there lay my friend the soldier, in his bed like a stuck pig with the doctor putting a plaster on his neck.
