To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The six young damsels wept aloud, Which so prevailed on six young menThat each his honest love avowed, Whereat they all got well again.
This poor young man was all aghast;The price of stethoscopes came down;And so he was reduced at lastTo practise in a country town.
The doctors being very sore, A stethoscope they did deviseThat had a rammer to clear the bore, With a knob at the end to kill the flies.
Now use your ears, all you that can, But don't forget to mind your eyes, Or you may be cheated,... like this young man, By a couple of silly, abnormal flies.
EXTRACTS FROM A MEDICAL POEM THE STABILITY OF SCIENCE THE feeble sea-birds, blinded in the storms, On some tall lighthouse dash their little forms, And the rude granite scatters for their painsThose small deposits that were meant for brains. Yet the proud fabric in the morning's sunStands all unconscious of the mischief done;Still the red beacon pours its evening raysFor the lost pilot with as full a blaze, --Nay, shines, all radiance, o'er the scattered fleetOf gulls and boobies brainless at its feet.
