What reading level is Camoens the Newdigate Prize Poem Mcmvii book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Peoples have passed away, their words remain : Poet is more than warrior, for deeds die And victor follows vanquii^hed into dust ; Is more than monarch, for kings' memory Is but the legend of an empire's lust, Its tale of pride and pain. They pass, and poet passes, but the tongue Of poet and of people changeth not : The year of Chaucer's birth-night is forgot. His speech immortal as the lays he sung.
( 1^ ) X.
Thou art a southern Chaucer : the dead voice Of rustic Rome is eloquent in thee — Its... cadence softer, mellower its tone, Like early days remembered lovingly, And with a liquid music of its own. 'Twas thine to take thy choice Of phrase and fancy from that gathered store, And, by the genius that was his, and thine, From the rich veins of an unfathomed mine To pile a faultless pyramid of ore.
XI.
Thou art thy people's Spenser, skill'd to paint Unfading pictures of a world long dead.
Thine was an age of colour and romance, Of martial pageant, swords that glimmered red, Warm serenade, slow pomp and stately dance.
