What reading level is Auld Scots Ballants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are two versions of " Chevy Chase" extant — an ancient and a modern one. The older copy is in antique orthography, and chiefly for that reason I have printed the modern one, which is described in the advertisement as "The Hunting of Chevy-Chase, a bloody battle fought by Earls Douglas and Percy, where above fourteen hundred Scotsmen and near two thousand Englishmen were slain in one day, " In English copies of the ballad, the position of parties, of course, are just reversed.
God prosper ...long our noble King, Our lives and safeties all — A woeful hunting once there did In Chevy Chase befall.
To drive the deer with hound and hoin Earl Percy took the way, The child may rue that is unborn, The himting of that day.
The stout Earl of Northumberland A vow to God did make. His pleasure in the Scottish woods, Three summer days to take — The choicest harts in Chevy Chase To kill and bear away ; These tidings to Earl Douglas came, In Scotland where he lay, H 114 AULD SCOTS BALLANTS.
Wlio sent Earl Percy present word, He would prevent the sport ; The English Earl not fearing him, Did to the woods resort, With twenty hundred bowmen bold, All chosen men of might — Who knew full well in time of need To aim their shafts aright.
