To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Recall d it not his shatter'd pow'r, Their order rallied, force combined, With stern command their panic quell'd, Their courage cheer'd, their fear dispell'd ?
The F^agle snatch'd from weaker hands, And as he rais'd th' imperial ensign high, In well known accents call'd his bands, Who, broken, trembling, hopeless, fled, To follow, where his footsteps led, To instant death or victory, And with decisive prompt array Reserv'd, if not redeem'd the Fortune of the Day ?
XV.
O no :— in shameless fligh...t, Wrapt in the robes of selfishness and night, He left his scattered host, And to the guilty city flew, In hopes with plausible and lying boast, O'er Anarchy's unsteady crew, His dream of Empire to renew.
15 XVI.
Yes, he whom Faction proudly styl'd " The Arbiter of Fate;" " Delighted Valor's fav'rite Child " " The brave, the wise, the fortunate ;— Yes, he, Napoleon ! Godlike Man !
Philosophy and Reason's pride, Of western Empire giant Lord, Whom Treason lov'd, and Infidels ador'd, From the first turn of Battle's tide In abject terror ran.
