To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There, in the Palace Hall, where once her laugh had loudest been, Where, but last Feast Day she had worn the wreath of Beauty's Queen, She lay a lost but lovely thing, the wreath was on her brow : Alas ! the lotus could not match its chilly pallor now! And ever as the orb of Day sank lower in the sky, Her breath came fainter, and the life seemed fading from her eye.
32 THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS Mute o'er the dying maiden's form King My- cerinus bends ; Not Pharaoh's might from this dread foe proud ...Egypt's hope defends ! Piteously moans he : " In this world, so dark without thy smile ! Hast thou one care thy Father's love, thy King's pledge may beguile? Hast thou a last light wish? Tis thine, by all the Gods on high ! If Egypt's blood can win it thee, or Egypt's treasure buy ! " How eagerly they wait her words ! Upon the pictured wall In long gold lines the dying lights between the columns fall ; Was it strange that tears were glistening where tears should never be, When Death had touched with fatal kiss the lips of such as she?
