To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
grasp every man a shroud " Roused from his trance, he mounts with eyes aghast; When o'er the ship, in undulation vast, A giant surge down rushes from on high, And fore and aft dissevered ruins lie : As when, Britannia's empire to maintain, Great Hawke descends in thunder on the main, Around the brazen voice of battle roars, And fatal lightnings blast the hostile shores ; Beneath the storm their shattered navies groan ; The trembling deep recoils from zone to zone Thus the torn vessel felt the e...normous stroke, The boats beneath the thundering deluge broke; 104 THE SHIPWRECK.
[Canto II.
Torn from their planks the cracking ring-bolts drew, And gripes and lashings all asunder flew ; Companion, binnacle, * in floating wreck, With compasses and glasses strewed the deck ; The balanced mizzen, rending to the head, In fluttering fragments from its bolt-rope fled; The sides convulsive shook on groaning beams, And, rent with labour, yawned their pitchy seams.
They sound the well, t and, terrible to hear !
