To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This enemy we now must fight, O fit use for the task ! May we sufficient be in might To chain this monster fast. Intemperance — thou dreadful curse Of all the human race! How long thy sorrows thus disburse — Our world how long disgrace ! O let us rally— one and all — To lay this monster low ! O hasten to our country^s call Of sorrow, grief, and woe. Those tearful eyes — those shrunken forms — Those wailings heard around — Those hopes now blasted, bruised, and torn — With voice of thunder sound ...! Digitized by VjOOQIC We Work for Liberty. 163 One million souls are passing on Within each yearly round : A million more, when these are gone. Are ready to go down. Then let us cast a glance or so Upon the paupers left, That to our alms-house yearly go, And by our taxes kept. But worse than all, do we behold That great immortal part — We mean the ruin of the soul — Of Deity, a spark. Can we, with such a scene as this, Sit careless at our ease? Not thinking of our brother's bliss.
