To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then followed twelve sumpter horses. The esquires bore the shields and the falconers the hawks on their fists ; after them came those that held the banners ; and last, my lord on a milk-white horse. . . . Thomas gave gifts to all to the princes, and the clergy, and the knights, and to the poor more than to the rich . . . When he feasted the beggars, he bade them take with them the gilded spoons and goblets. " Becket is raised to the see of Canterbury, and thenceforth, step by step, the poet pic...tures his struggle for the freedom of the English Church. Single-handed he fights the pride and treachery of his king, the weakness of his bishops, the guile of tireless enemies ; until, on that black December night of 1170, the blow of martyrdom is struck. It is a scene noble even to sublimity. Vesper time draws near in the great Cathedral, and two priests are speaking brokenly of their Primate : At yonder altar of Saint Benedict He said his mass ; then in the chapter-house Conversed with two old monks of thing's divine : Next for his confessor he sent, and made Confession with his humble wont, but briefly ; Last, sat with us an hour, and held discourse Full gladsomely.
