To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These trivial blemishes, easily discernible, were just of the kind to bring down the censure of the last century's critics, who were never tired of p3cking at Shakespeare for the readiness with which he sprang at an opportunity for a pun ; and there can be no doubt that some fine passages of his poetry are less purely beautiful than they would have been were they not spotted with this labored use of words in a double sense. Of the kindred fault, which did not take the form of an absolute pun, b...ut which is hardly less offensive, the Lucrece furnishes the follow- ing perfect specimen : — " Even here she sheathed in her harmless breast A harmful knife, which thence her soul unsheath'd." Conceits like this, which abound in all departments of the literature of the Elizabethan age, are mere labored, verbal antitheses corresponding to parallel antitheses of thought.
The humorous side of this conceit in style is a pun, in which there is correspondence of words, but incongruity of thought. The development of taste has taught us that in serious writing these antitheses are impertinent ; but the pleasing surprise of a certain lack of pertinence, which yet seems pertinent, forms no small ingredient in our enjoyment of wit.
