To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Stay fancy, through these gilded scenes thou must no longer rove, But turn the cold realities of present life to prove ; — Cold, shall I say ! ah, beams there not a warmer, brighter light, O'er England's shores, that dissipates the shades of mental night ?
Yes, though the times of sweet romance should vanish quite away, We would not now exchange for them the light of gospel day ; We would not have the ages blent with popery's dark spell, Return again to England, the land we love so well.
60 TO ...A YOUNG FRIEND, Inclined to dissipation.
And, can it be, that even thou, With honour stamped upon thy brow, That thou so soon hast daring quaffed Dark dissipation's deadly draught ?
May I not hope that, with the scorn Of virtuous pride, thy mind would spurn The friendship that would lure thy feet, - False friendship — to the scoffer's seat ?
See where gay pleasure's temples rise, With glittering turrets to the skies, And youth and beauty enter there, With lightsome step and joyous air.
But mark with pity what befalls Those hapless ones within the walls, Guilt spreads for them her snaring nets, And poisons with her tempting sweets.
