To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What is the pulse of this so busy world ? The love of pleasure ; that, through every vein, Throws motion, warmth ; and shuts out death from life.
NIGHT VIII. 185 Though various are the tempers of mankind, Pleasure's gay family holds all in chains : Some most affect the black ; and some the fair : Some honest pleasures court ; and some obscene. Pleasures obscene are various, as the throng Of passions that can err in human hearts ; Mistake their objects, or transgress their bounds. Think you ther...e's but one whoredom ? Whore- dom all, But when our reason licenses delight. Dost doubt, Lorenzo ? Thou shall doubt no more. Thy father chides thy gallantries ; yet hugs An ugly common harlot in the dark ; A rank adulterer with others' gold : And that hag vengeance, in a corner, charms. Hatred her brothel has, as well as love, Where horrid epicures debauch in blood. Whate'er the motive, pleasure is the mark : For her the black assassin draws his sword ; For her, dark statesmen trim their midnight lamp, To which no single sacrifice may fall ; For her, the saint abstains ; the miser starves ; The stoic proud for pleasure, pleasure scorn'd ; For her affliction's daughters grief indulge, And find, or hope, a luxury in tears ; For her, guilt, shame, toil, danger, we defy ; And, with an aim voluptuous, rush on death.
