To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though both for centuries their light have poured To vindicate at last thy honest pen, — Reaping such harvest from the plundered East That all men's wonder at thy millions ceased.
HESPEEIA. 155 L X X X I V.
Forerunner of discovery's career, Vasco, Columbus, and Vespucci's sire, Hesperia well may hold thy memory dear.
Whose name, like theirs, should stir the epic lyre.
Were there a soul in either hemisphere That held a spark of Homer's sacred fire.
But ah ! for mortals 't is no light emprise To ...wake a lay like his, that never dies !
LXXXV.
Commerce ! not brief, though glorious, is thy reign ; Who call thy sceptre fleeting do thee wrong ; Thine is a realm as boundless as the main, A sway as endless, and a power as strong : Thy seats thou changest, and will change again ; With the unjust thou canst not tarry long.
And hence, by Despots or by Mobs opprest, Thy flight has ever been from East to West.
lo6 HESPEEIA.
LXXX VI.
Nor were there wanting here, in days of yore, Some fearful visitors, — grim iron bands.
