To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I don't happen to know, Dwelt in Yedo a person whom ev'ryone knew As the crack Fencing Master the aged Yagiu : He was heir to a name And a family fame That unsullied through centuries down to him came ; He was five-eight in height, And stood straight and upright, Though his face was all wrinkled from age, and as white As a snowflake his hair ; his complexion was light ; He 'd a merry dark eye, spite of tell-tale ' crow's feet ' ; And a smile and a manner remarkably sweet ; 122 THE FENCING MASTE...R.
And his face was so kindly, you never would dream His profession was that of a maitre d'escrime !
Yet could kindle that glance, and could sparkle that eye, At the ' clackety-clack ' of a trusty shinaye ; * And, for all his white hairs and his wrinkled old face, He could deal the ' pear-splitter ' t with infinite grace, Wield the sharp naginata J with exquisite skill, Fence with one sword, or two, or (more difficult still) Use the ' sickle and ball, ' or the spear with a will And in style that his pupils with envy would fill : Through the whole of the realm of Japan there were few Who could e'er hope to rival the gallant Yagiu !
