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

but name it I must — in Thessalia, I say, there was — well may I say there was ! — z. prince ; no, no prince whom bondage wholly possessed; but yet accounted a prince, ARCADIA.-^Book IL I29 and named Musidonis. O Musidorus ! Musidorus ! But to what serve exclamations, where there are no ears to receive the sound ? This Musidorus being yet in the tenderest age, his worthy father paid to Nature, with a violent death, her last duties, leaving his child to the faith of his friends and the proof of ...time. Death gave him not such pangs as the foresightful care he had of his silly successor ; and yet if in his foresight he could have seen so much, happy was that good prince in his timely departure, which barred him from the knowledge of his son's miseries, which his knowledge could neither have prevented nor relieved. The young Musidorus, being thus, as for the first pledge of the des- tinies' good-will, deprived of his principal stay, was yet for some years after, as if the stars would breathe themselves for a greater mischief, lulled up in as much good luck as the heedful love of his doleful mother and the flourishing estate of his country could breed unto him.
