To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why rail against the great and wise, And tire us with your ceaseless grumble?
" Pray choose us out another text, O man morose and narrow-minded! Come, turn the page I read the next, And then the next, and still I find it.
" Read here how wealth was set aside, And folly set in place exalted; How princes footed in the dust While lackeys in the saddle vaulted.
" Though thrice a thousand years are past Since David's son, the sad and splendid, The weary King Ecclesiast, Upon his awful tablets penned... it.
" Methinks the text is never stale, And life is every day renewing Fresh comments on the old, old tale Of Folly, Fortune, Glory, Ruin. " And hear his summing-up of Napoleon : " He captured many thousand guns; He wrote ' The Great ' before his name; And, dying, only left his sons The recollection of his shame.
" Though more than half the world was his, He died without a rood his own, And borrowed from his enemies Six feet of ground to lie upon.
" He fought a thousand glorious wars, And more than half the world was his; And somewhere now, in yonder stars, Can tell, mayhap, what greatness is.
