To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here Arhan stood, and spake to all who came, — Idlers who knew not how to waste their day Women and men in costly raiment clad ; Masters and servants staid to hear his words.
For in his heart there burned a people's wrong, And on his lips that wrong found utterance.
He preached unto them, saying, " He of old declared to men : ' I^ay not up treasures for yourself on earth.
Where moth and rust corrupt and thieves break through and steal, 29 THE SIEGE OF THB GOLDEN CITY But lay up treasures for yo...urself in heaven, Where moth nor rust corrupt, nor thieves may steal.' And have ye heard his voice and scorned him so?
I say to you, my brothers, verily, Thy gold can nowise profit thee on earth ; It buys but sorrow and it breeds but pain.
Thou canst not make the bird pour forth his song For golden guerdon, canst not deck the skies Of eve with royal purple and with flame, Tho' Pluto pour his coffers in the sea, And offer prayers to Jove from morn to night, Thou canst not barter wnth swift-speeding time, Nor with thy boundless gold stay age's blight; Thou canst not buy the dead to life again ; Thou canst not rob the grave of bitterness.
