To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where now are the wise men of the ancient days?
I and mine hold merry feasts in their nameless tombs.
(6) What they thought wisdom is now sport for children ; what they deemed solemn worship is now idle mummery.
So in the never-ending cycles to come shall the jest of to-day become earnest and the earnest become jest, and the one be mistaken for the other.
Therefore, have I looked on with pleas- ure when thou hast led the revels of my Bohemian children. Thy unctuous voice hath always inspired th...eir mirth ; thy jovial face hath ever inflamed their laughter.
(7) I have seen thee, as High-Priest, guid- ing the young neophyte to the Bohemian altar, and leading his soul upward with such uttered pre- cept as never neophyte heard before. I have listened when with strenuous voice thou hast brought in hoarse carols from the briny deep.
Often, for very sport, thou wouldst load up most grave and serious words with light and unaccustomed freight of meaning, and then, anon, wouldst dress some solemn thought in such gay frivolous garb of language, that men mistook it for a wanton.
