text_original: The reader — at least the reader of our genera  tion who has read over the story as told by Plutarch — finds the closing passages of Addison's poem somewhat too grandiloquent, overwrought, and rhe  torical to express the real dignity of the tragedy, or to touch the human heart. But the pubhc opinion of Addison's day found no fault on that account, and the Dlay was regarded by most critics as a master  piece of dramatic literature.
