To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He acknowledges of himself, that if ambition is a sin, he is the most sinful being- in the world.
He noAv seeks to meet tliis envied ideal of all chivalry in single combat and in the battle, and he proclaims to him that he shall not any more share the glory with him ; two stars such as they cannot keep " their motion in one spihere".
He has predicted it, when he stood blushing with disgrace before his father, tliat in the day when they met, he would scour his shame from his face Avith all the h...onour "sitting on the helm" of this child of renown, that he would exchange his indignities for Percy's glorious deeds, or cancel his vow by death. Percy had gathered on his own head the honour of the Scottish Douglas, and these heaped-up honours Henry again will take from him; he shall be but \\\q factor of his own honour. And thus urged by this smouldering fire of ambition, he encounters Percy's flaming passion for glory ; the modest man meets his despiser, the idler in knightly deeds, meets the master of chivalry, and he overcomes him, in no wise because the arbitrary fancy of the poet so willed it, but because the good cause thus required it, and the good powerful nature of the prince thus permitted it, a nature in which qualities Avere inherent, Avhich far outshone even the « great gifts of Harry Percy.
