To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To stop them with her piercing cries : Her voice no longer they obey ; The slipp'ry stones her feet betray.
And striving yet her hold to keep, llie Shepherdess, to save her sheep Their lot partakes : ah, fatal hour !
The greedy waters all devour.
All sink engulph'd ; oh, tragic fate !
The Huntress Queen arrives too late ; She comes to view, to mourn, to rave.
But powerless alas! to save.
" Misguided Nymph !" she weeping cried, " Why didst thou from thy Mistress hide ?
U FORBURY HILL.
" Why from... her safe recesses rove, " For causeless fear, or hopeless love? " How oft the ways of men I've trac'd, " When all that do not chace, are chac'd ! " Why slight my warning to thy cost ? *' Of all my maids, I lov'd thee most ! " Ah, hapless Nymph ! could tears restore, '' How much, how freely should they pour ! *' Then chang'd to waters shalt thou go, ** To fertilize where'er they flow; " And often waning, by their side, " Shall our salt tears augment their tide : *' Transform'd X. O fish thy lambs of snow, " Thou still shalt feed, thou still shalt know : " And when great Thames, a Monarch's tide, " Receives thee trembling to his side, ** Thou long shalt be a favourite bride : " Fond he shall prove, if not too true, " For thou shalt be for ever new.
