To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How courteous and considerate to the feelings is the gentle " Sir, withdraw, and axe for a priest ;" and how coarse and rude by contrast with it is " You shall be taken hence to the place from whence you came, and thence to a place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck till you are dead " — a sentence only fit for a dog. The scene must have lost half its terrors by this gentle oourtesy in announcing the doom of the law ; but, deny it who will, our Saxon ancestors were highly civilized, a...nd gentlemen in all they did ; why, what a gentlemanly death was that reserved for the privi- leged burgess, to be slid off the port into the sea. Clarence and his Malmsey-butt is vulgarity itself compared with a " header " down to the " rocks where corals grow : " — " Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea change Into something rich and strange ; Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell." . . . Highly privileged were ye, ye men of Pevensey. " O for- tunati sua si bona norint ! " 2 But to our legend — % In daies when Popyshe govenimente Ordayned, agaynst our wishe, That men sholde, duryng time of Lent, Bothe dyne and suppe on fysshe — There hVd a verie honest wight, A free-man of this porte.
