To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Behold the glittering cares Her brow, in mockery, wears, The crowns of thorn and tinsel, tear-empe'arFd ; Hark the unwonted names That consummate her shames !
They dare not call her Rome — ^no, not down hurl'd ' And chained ! — ^lest at the sound Each Vandal bond they bound Fall from her and confess the empress of the world !
Thus with untiring plaint How oft thy fancies paint Each changing mood of her unchanging woe.
Before my sadden'd eyes • Obedient dolours rise, A thousand subject passions ...pale and glow 1 And each new wrong she bears Thou actest in mine ears, And ill complains to ill, and blow resounds to blow !
Digitized by VjOOQlC \ 148 THE ROMAN.
But what shall paint the power Of that disastrous hour, When coarse oppression struck with ruder hand, And, at some worst disgrace, She raised her bleeding face, And saw with folded arms her sons consenting stand ?
My harp 1 at that last gaze Her eyes, dishonoured, raise, Thou, with Timanthean woe grown utterless.
Changing the unequal key Of slaves that might be free, But rot and smile in unavenged duresse, Thy descant of disdain Loud liftest, till our pain Shows us the shade of Aer ineffable distress.
