To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And people will love dearly still Their neighbors' faults to mention, And think too much of others' sins To give their own attention ; A'hd o'er and o'er a sinner's fall Will tell with such a spirit, You're forced to think that, after all, They're rather pleased to hear it. Let sages frown and preachers prate, Alas ! we're not divine, And the human nature of Sixty-eight Will flourish in Sixty-nine.
It is not things, but we, that change, Not always for the better. Perhaps the spirit's wider rang...e Is free from fall and fetter. Our earth-life is a restless chase; With faltering feet or steady We hasten to that silent place The year has reached already. But love will ever conquer fear, Joy quite forsake us never; Some blessed hope is always near, Some good remains forever.
68 THE CHEERFUL SLAVE.
So, "with a heart for any fate, " We join Life's marching line, With a last good-by to Sixty-eight And a cheer for Sixty-nine.
THE CHEERFUL SLAVE.

BOUND ! bound ! Gold is king ; Gold is king, And long been crowned, Silver is an Honored peer; I a base Plebeian thing, All ungifted With the grace Of prince or lord ; All unworthy To come near, Save when lifted From my poor State obscure, THE CHEERFUL SLAVE.
