To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ah ! who the flight of ages can revoke 1 The free-born spirit of her sons is broke, They bow to Ottoman's imperious yoke. No longer fame their drooping heart inspires, For stern oppression quench'd its genial fires : Though still her fields, with golden harvests crown'd, Supply the barren shores of Greece around. Sharp penury afiiicts these wretched isles, 7o There hope ne'er dawns, and pleasure never smiles : The vassal wretch contented drags his chain, And hears his famish'd babes lament in v...ain. These eyes have seen the dull reluctant soil A seventh year mock the weary labourer's toil. No blooming Venus, on the desert shore, Now views with triumph captive gods adore ; No lovely Helens now with fatal charms Excite the avenging chiefs of Greece to arms ; No fair Penelopes enchant the eye, so For whom contending kings were proud to die : Here sullen beauty sheds a twilight ray. While sorrow bids her vernal bloom decay : Those charms, so long renown'd in classic strains, Had dimly shone on Albion's happier plains !
