To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Look upon this noble-hearted Substitute ; seeing thy woes, he pitied thee, Bowed beneath the mountain of thy sin, and perished, — ^but for Godhead ; There stood the Atlas in liis power, and Prometheus in his love is there. Emptying on wretched man the blessings earned from heaven : Put them not away, hide them in thy heart, poor and penitent receiver, Be gratitude thy counsellor to good, and wholesome fear unto obedience : Remember, the pruning-knife is keen, cutting cankers even from the vine ...: Remember, twelve were chosen, and one among them liveth — in perdition. Yea, — for standing unatoned, the soul is a bison on the prairie, Hunted by those trooping wolves, the many sinful yesterdays : And it speedeth a terrified Deucalion, flinging back the pebble in his flight, The pebble that must add one more to those pursuing ghosts. (*) O man, there is a storm behind, should drive thy bark to haven ; Thy foe, the foe is on thy track, patient, certain, and avenging ; Day by day, solemnly and silently, foUoweth the fearful past, — His step is lame but sure ; for he catcheth the present in eternity : And how to escape that foe, the present-past in future ?
