Just read and try to understand. Overtime you'll start to understand the old phrasing and wording.

The man who is solicitous about a surviving fame, considers not thateach one of those who remember him, must soon die himself, and so musthis successor a little after him, till at last this remembrance be extinguished,which is handed down through a series of stupid perishing admirers. Grantyour memory were immortal, and these immortal, who retain it; yet whatis that to thee? Not to say, what is that to the dead? but what is it to theliving, except * for some further view? In the mean time, you unseasonablyquit what nature hath put in your power, by grasping at something elsedependent on another

It's completely doable. You have to work your way up. I don't think you can go to Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra not having read much of anything before

I bought one from Penguin's Classics. Good read.

If you plan on doing this, I recommend Emil Cioran's "On the Heights of Despair". Not only is it blackpill philosphy (about life, not women, Cioran was married), it's a digestible read, at least for me
