To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ye sleep ; but not the spirit, that gave to us All that in you was good and generous.
The oak hath fallen, the forests moan ; He stands a branchless trunk alone ; But the wind his seed hath scattered ; The sapling bravely rear'd his head, And tells by fruit and foliage That he comes of goodly parentage.
Your worth, your virtue still descendeth, Your blood, your lineage never endeth ; In earth your ashes rest, but ye Live in your latest progeny.
Saith he aright, who saith, the dead Of busy world...-life nothing heed ?
17 Is all within the grave as cold As the dewy turf and the dusty mould ?
Or start they never in their bed By wakeful dream disquieted ?
Never to those they lov'd return, With them to triumph or to mourn ?
Perchance ye Monarchs wander still About your earthly domicile, Touched, as of old, with anxious care Our sorrows and our joys to share; Oft to the palace hall repair, To see what kings are doing there ; And, if there be an infant heir, Upon his face ye gaze intent To trace each look and lineament, And joy to find him still your own, A true-born child of England's throne .
