To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it thy madness or thy love that speaks ?
What is to thee this foolish life of mine ?
Thou in thine hour of triumph and cold scorn Hast crush' d the heart wherein it beats — ev'n yet — Too fondly beats for thee ! Wouldst thou that death Should not be wholly pangless ? — Spare thy words ; Thou lov'st me not, — the mockery is ill-timed.
EUPHAS.
Hither, my friends, with speedier steps.
MIRIAM — A DRAMATIC POEM. 37 Enter armed Christians.
Ye come, Girt with no needless weapons, to the cot Of him ...who call'd you to a gentler task.
Lo ! in the dove's own nest the serpent coil'd !
So that ye ask not why he hither came, Do what ye list. It is the haughty son Of him whose myrmidons this night have snatch' d Your own best treasures shrieking from your arms.
Turning your hymns and holy prayers to groans.
Drenching th' unburied dust of him ye lov'd With martyr's blood, and waking in your hearts The stern, deep cry for vengeance !
MIRIAM.
O my brother !
How have such words a place on Christian lips ?
