To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nay, nay, your veriest townsman loves to shade With sylvan green his stately colonnade; And his is deemed the finest house which yields The finest prospect of the open fields.
Turn Nature, neck-and-shoulders, out of door, She'll find her way to where she was before ; And imperceptibly in time subdue Wealth's sickly fancies, and her tastes untrue.
The man that's wholly skilless to descry The common purple from the Tyrian dye, Will take no surer harm, nor one that more Strikes to his marrow in it...s inmost core, Than he who knows not with instinctive sense To sever truth from falsehood and pretense.
Whoe'er hath wildly wantoned in success, Him will adversity the more depress.
What's dearly prized we grudgingly forego.
Shun mighty aims ; the lowliest roof may know COUNTRY BLESSINGS 159 A life that more of heartfelt comfort brings, Than kings have tasted, or the friends of kings.
Once on a time a stag, at antlers' point, Expelled a horse he'd worsted, from the joint Enjoyment of the pasture both had cropp'd: Still, when he ventured near it, rudely stopped, The steed called in man's aid, and took the bit : Thus backed, he charged the stag, and conquer'd it.
