To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Description would but tire my Muse;In short, they both were turned to Yews.
Old Goodman Dobson of the greenRemembers he the trees has seen;He'll talk of them from noon till night, And goes with folks to show the sight;On Sundays, after evening prayer, He gathers all the parish there, Points out the place of either Yew:Here Baucis, there Philemon grew, Till once a parson of our town, To mend his barn, cut Baucis down;At which, 'tis hard to be believedHow much the other tree was grieved, Grow s...crubby, died a-top, was stunted:So the next parson stubbed and burnt it.
THE LOGICIANS REFUTED.
Logicians have but ill definedAs rational, the human kind;Reason, they say, belongs to man, But let them prove it, if they can. Wise Aristotle and Smiglesius, By ratiocinations specious, Have strove to prove with great precision, With definition and division, _Homo est ratione praeditum_;But, for my soul, I cannot credit 'em. And must, in spite of them, maintainThat man and all his ways are vain;And that this boasted lord of natureIs both a weak and erring creature.
