To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cheek which blossom'd like the rose, Has lost its lovely charms ; That beauteous form the lover chose, Is clasp'd in Death's cold arms. All earthly hopes, and earthly joys, And prospects must decay ; — But they who serve their God aright, Shall live in endless day ! How wondrously the scene is chang'd ! How lovely they appear ! I view them in their state arrang'd, With more delight than fear ! Ah ! once the scene was not so fair, I scarce could read a stone ! But grace can conquer slavish f...ear, — With joy I look thereon ! The opening grave oft spoil'd the hinge, On which my fancy play'd ; The skulls and bones would make me cringe, While I their forms survey'd. Chill horror used to haunt my breast, While sin therein remain'd ; — But Jesu's name be ever blest, I have his favour gain'd ! 128 Tis faith perfumes destruction's breath, Our Jesu's strong 1 to save ; 'Tis faith removes the sting of death, The terrors of the grave ! How oft have I in giddy maze, This sacred passage trod !
