To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The boats are lower'd, fill'd with a daring band, The oars are plied, they hasten to the strand, Eager they leap into the foaming spray, And through the breaking billows force their way; They gain the shore, and form in battle-line, And, briefly resting, on their arms recline. Loud rolls the drum, they heed its martial sound, And march that city to beleaguer round. O'er hills of sand their plans of siege they trace, The forts they rear, the pond'rous mortars place, And all war's dreaded impleme...nts of ill, That man invents his brother man to kill. Now flies the gleaming rocket through the air, The cannon belches forth its lurid glare, Sending its metal globes, with horrid aim, The booming bomb whirls from its mortar's flame, To burst, and scatter desolation round ; The battle-ships, moor'd at the anchor-ground, Join in the siege, and loudly -echo back The deep mouth 'dthunderings of the shore attack. On that devoted city day by day, Death's iron showers kept up a fearful play, In vain its Castle's armament of might Essay 'd to turn the fortunes of the fight.
