To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
that rages unconfin'd, And crouds with Crimes the Records of Mankind, For Gold his Sword the Hireling Ruffian draws, For Gold the hireling Judge distorts the Laws;Wealth heap'd on Wealth, nor Truth nor Safety buys, The Dangers gather as the Treasures rise. [Footnote b: Ver. 12-22. ] Let Hist'ry tell where rival Kings command, And dubious Title shakes the madded Land, When Statutes glean the Refuse of the Sword, How much more safe the Vassal than the Lord, Low sculks the Hind beneath the Rage of... Pow'r, And leaves the _bonny Traytor_ in the _Tow'r_, Untouch'd his Cottage, and his Slumbers found, Tho' Confiscation's Vulturs clang around.
The needy Traveller, serene and gay, Walks the wild Heath, and sings his Toil away. Does Envy seize thee? crush th' upbraiding Joy, Encrease his Riches and his Peace destroy, New Fears in dire Vicissitude invade, The rustling Brake alarms, and quiv'ring Shade, Nor Light nor Darkness bring his Pain Relief, One shews the Plunder, and one hides the Thief.
Yet[c] still the gen'ral Cry the Skies assailsAnd Gain and Grandeur load the tainted Gales;Few know the toiling States man's Fear or Care, Th' insidious Rival and the gaping Heir.
