To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But thou, false guardian of a charge too good, Thou base betrayer of a brother's blood! See on those ruby lips the trembling breath, Those cheeks now fading at the blast of death: Lifeless the breast, which warm'd the world before, And those love-darting eyes must roll no more.
The conclusion of this elegy is irresistably affecting.
So peaceful rests, without a stone, a name, Which once had beauty, titles, wealth and fame, How lov'd, how honoured once, avails thee not, To whom related, ...or by whom begot; A heap of dust alone remains of thee; 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be!
No poem of our author's more deservedly obtained him reputation, thanhis Essay on Criticism. Mr. Addison, in his Spectator, No. 253, hascelebrated it with such profuse terms of admiration, that it is reallyastonishing, to find the same man endeavouring afterwards to diminishthat fame he had contributed to raise so high.
The art of criticism (says he) which was published some months ago, is amaster-piece in its kind.
