To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Neither Richelieu, Cromwell, nor William the Silent, ever recorded more frankly their problems and their aims. In the authentic writings of Alfred we are in the presence of one who is a teacher as much as a King — who recalls to us Augustine and a-Kempis, or Bunyan and Jeremy Taylor. His Boethius served him as texts whereon he preached to his people profound sermons on the moral and spiritual life. Read his homily on Riches, — " that it is better to give than to receive " — on the true Ruler, —... "that power is never a good unless he be good that has it" — on the uses of Adversity — " no wise man should desire a soft life." Few men ever had so hard a life — with his mysterious and cruel malady — " his thorn in the flesh " until his earl)' death — \\ ilh his distracted and ruined kingdom — his ferocious enemies — his ne\er- ending cares. And amidst it all we have the King in his silent study pouring out poetic thoughts upon married love, or friendship, on true happiness, or the inner life, composing pastoral poetry, or casting into English old idylls from Greek epic or myth, ending with some magnificent Te Deum of his own composition.
