To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How vain, how pigmy, then all earth appears, How dread the future deep in horrors drowned, How much the soul the doubtful exit fears; And anguish in each sigh foreboding Conscience hears. Enough of this cant, theologic stuff- Out on the man who would his betters teach! He merits for his pains a sound rebuff; For tis the height of impudence to preach, Or with rude sense the chafing rabble teach. The wisest mind will on itself revert, And by experience warned, like flint, to each Gregarian sentim...ent remain inert; The dullest student thinks the wisest tutor pert. Whilst thronged upon the shell-bespangled strand Our men a commerce with the blacks essay d, The chief Tom-a-tee-wa-kee, and a band Of giant guards, a first appearance made, Stalking in lordly pride the vernal glade. A man of war this chief his endless name Was syllabled afar. Twas grimly said That when Tasman unto this island came, He ate a w r hole boat s crew and made a deathless fame. As on the beach he stood, his tawny hand Vain-glorious swayed a stony-headed spear; Two anklets wrought of jad his ankles spann d, And coral drops hung pendant from each ear; But what the timid most did strike with fear, Were blood-red patches o er his features smear d, So that he made a figure rather queer To contemplate; but woe to such as sneer d, Since in his own conceit, perfection he appeared.
