To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To yearn some pence or take a lark : And that smug Master, — were he paid To larn the growing lads a trade, i6 To mend their boots or use a rule, Why, then, I'd say, ' He bean't no fool. ' " Nor murmur working men alone, For every grange has now its moan. 'Tis hard to keep the fatten'd steer, Because the middleman's so near; To sow and reap the baffling crops, Whose yearly waning value stops The wisest projects at their source. The genial giver in his course. And what our toilers used to see, —... Large-handed generosity.
Oh ! would some Power arouse the great, Who make our laws and guide the State, To stem the townward flowing tide. And crown with life the country-side. To help the poor of every kind — Parson and farmer, squire and hind — To look on men of low estate, New freedom from this year might date, — Another wondrous eighty-eight !
The Spectator, July 7, 1888.
17 C Ol'vi Trep (pvXKcov yevevj, TOtrjOS zcci uvopuv, O YE leaves, ye Autumn leaves !
How you symbolize again The frail, fleeting race of men !
