To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who succour'd distress at his door?Our Morris of Persfield was he, Who dwelt in the hearts of the poor.
But who e'en of wealth shall make sure, Since wealth to misfortune has bow'd?Long cherish'd untainted and pure, The stream of his charity flow'd. But all his resources gave way, O what could his feelings controul?What shall curb, in the prosperous day, Th' excess of a generous soul?
He bade an adieu to the town, O, can I forget the sad day?When I saw the poor widows kneel down, To bless him, ...to weep, and to pray.
Though sorrow was mark'd in his eye, This trial he manfully bore;Then pass'd o'er the bridge of the WYE, To return to his PERSFIELD no more.
Yet surely another may feel, And poverty still may be fed;I was one who rung out the dumb peal, For to us noble MORRIS was dead. He had not lost sight of his home, Yon domain that so lovely appears, When he heard it, and sunk overcome; He could feel, and he burst into tears.
The lessons of prudence have charms, And slighted, may lead to distress;But the man whom benevolence warms, Is an angel who lives but to bless.
