To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This is the opinion not only of Irishmen but even of impartial EngHshmen and Scotchmen. An Enghsh writer by the name of Shaw, declares that: "In the quaUty of a national Irish lyrist, Moore stands absolutely alone and unapproachable," and Professor Wilson of Scotland says: "Of all the song-writers that ever warbled, or chanted, or sung , the best is verily none other than Thomas Moore." Moore's "Irish Melodies" are the grandest poetical productions that have ever been composed in any language. ...That man must indeed be a soulless clod of earth who can read them or hear them sung without feehng himself aroused to admiration. The words are exquisitely beautiful, the calm sweetness of the melody touches the very depths of the soul, and when played, the music strikes the ear as something almost celestial; so that the listener may imagine himself transported amidst the choirs of angels in Paradise.
The poems of Pope, who was really England's greatest poet and was once recognized as such, are only rhymed eloquence and logic, but Moore's mel- odies are the genuine poetry.
