If you think Ozymandias is long (14 lines - it’s a sonnet), then don’t attempt The Bride of Abydos (1204 lines - 339 of which is a single speech).

I’ve always pronounced Percy as rhyming with mercy. Don’t know of any major variants. I did have a teacher once with the surname Persse, but this was pronounced ā€œpurseā€, at least to his face.
