To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The crowning of Petrarch and Corrina attracted his atten- tion, and he sighed to think that he nor his patron was acquainted with these gorgeous ceremonies when he was honored with the laurel. Dexter had been told that the Dru- ids crowned their bards with misletoe, and as this did not grow in his garden he was directed to use parsley in its stead. This herb, or rather weed, is frangible, and easily wilts ; but in this case it did not perish by sun, wind or rain, for the mob of boys press- ed o...n so furiously that the ceremony was interrupted, the laurel scattered, and the poet and his patron fled. Some laughing damsel, hearing of the issue of the ceremony, hound some artificial flowers on the cocked hat, which looked as well as the wreath of Parnassus, drenched in the richest dews of Castalia. This was the only time an attempt was ever made to crown an American poet, Hterally, as it was done in former times.
Still there are men now walking our streets who wear the bays by dint of puflers, who never deserved a single leaf of laurel ; who, for wishy-washy^ silky-milky rhymes, print- ed in either hemisphere, and trumpeted by those who expect a similar favor, are astonished that the world let them pass without paeans from every quarter.
