To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
15 NIOBE.
O MOTHER-HEART ! when fast the arrows flew, Like blinding lightning, smiting as they fell, One after one, one after one, what knell Could fitly voice thy anguish ! Sorrow grew To throes intensest, when thy sad soul knew Thy youngest, too, must go. Was it not well, Avengers wroth, just one to spare ? Ay, tell The ages of soul-struggle sterner? Through The flinty stone, O image of despair, Sad Niobe, thy maddened grief did flow In bitt'rest tears, when all thy wailing prayer Was so deni...ed. Alas ! what weight of woe Is prisoned in thy melancholy eyes !
What mother-love beneath the Stoic lies !
17 THE TWO MUSICIANS.
Love plays a lute, and Thought an organ grand These tones are stately, those a restless strain, Seeming by cadenced joy to measure pain, And capture Fancy by the soft airs fanned.
Thought sends his paeans thrilling through the land ; The worshipers that bow before his fane Find rest in contemplation, spirit-gain In sweetest harmonies. Yon rapturous band, Kneeling to catch the music of the lute, Have yearning in their eyes, yet something there That baffles all our reas'ning ; is it peace, Or only glances with beseeching mute?
