To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet, than all these a viler crew remain, Who with Achitophel the cry maintain; Not urged by fear, nor through misguided sense, -- Blind zeal and starving need had some pretence; But for the good old cause, that did excite The original rebels' wiles--revenge and spite. These raise the plot, to have the scandal thrown Upon the bright successor of the crown, 110 Whose virtue with such wrongs they had pursued, As seem'd all hope of pardon to exclude. Thus, while on private ends their zeal is bu...ilt, The cheated crowd applaud, and share their guilt.
Such practices as these, too gross to lie Long unobserved by each discerning eye, The more judicious Israelites unspell'd, Though still the charm the giddy rabble held. Even Absalom, amidst the dazzling beams Of empire, and ambition's flattering dreams, 120 Perceives the plot, too foul to be excused, To aid designs, no less pernicious, used. And, filial sense yet striving in his breast, Thus to Achitophel his doubts express'd: Why are my thoughts upon a crown employ'd.
