To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
better far the grave, Than to drag on a wasting Death-in-Life, Both soul and body doomed— the white man's slave ! The spirit palsied with foul shame and wrong ; Torture, disease, and toil, their lot their whole life long.
Vain are your wrathful cries— your prayers as vain ! Dark sons of Afric, ye are bought and sold — Branded your writhing limbs ; the blood-wrought chain Binding ye down, crammed in the black ship's hold.
THE SLATE TEADE. 33 Grow mad with anguish ! woman, sob and moan For thy lo...st babes — lift up a terrible cry ! Think ye 'twill soften bosoms hard as stone ? Break your sad hearts — what matter if ye die ? One-third safe-brought to the vile human-mart, Shall heap his coffers high, and glad the slave-king's heart.
-'"Wild the sea-perils of that felon-bark, Becalmed 'neath Tropic skies, that rain down fire - % Swept by fierce hurricane and tempest dark, As if pursued by vengeance swift and dire ; "While maniac-yells, louder than noise of storms, Burst from her loathsome bosom, where grim Death Feasts in the pestilent air ; and ghastly forms Mad with their torment gasp for heaven's sweet breath.
