To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He did what he could, however, and that was something. He stormed and swore at the top of a very loud voice ; he ran amuck through the castle, beat the pages who happened to cross his path, kicked the dogs, and flung about the platters, which, being of pewter, sustained little damage, but raised a tremendous clatter. If our readers ask why he did the last trick, we can only reply that it was a way they had in the olden time. Of course nobody would think of such a thing in the nineteenth century..., because, of course, we are all more civilised ; and then, you know, pewter platters have departed with the olden time — a fact that in itself would render the raising of a clatter by their means somewhat difficult. Then Ebles cooled down, ordered his wife into close confinement, and despatched a party of halberdiers to arrest the poet. The last he swore, by half the saints and all the demons, to hang by the neck from a beam in his lady's chamber, and there to let him dangle as long as the hemp would hold, for the delectation of his paramour.
