To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With thee, companion of his toil, His active spirits ne'er recoil ; Though hard his daily task assigned, He bears it with an equal mind. The fisher 'board some little bark. When all around is drear and dark, With shortened pipe beguiles the hour. Though bleak the wind and cold the show'r, Nor thinks the mom's approach too slow, Regardless of what tempests blow. Midst hills of sand, midst ditches, dikes. Midst cannons, muskets, halberts, pikes ; With thee, as still, Mynheer can stay, As Neddy 't...wixt two wisps of hay ; Heedless of Britain and of France, Smokes on — and looks to the main chance. And sure the solace thou canst give Must make thy fame unrivalled live. So long as men can temper clay (For as thou art, e'en so are they), The sun mature the Indian weed, And rolling years fresh sorrows breed. From The Meteors, London. A PIPE ! it is a great comforter, a pleasant soother I Blue devils fly before its honest breath ! It ripens the brain, it opens the heart; and the man who smokes, thinks like a sage, and acts like a Samaritan.
