What reading level is Colonial Prose And Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The poor gentlewomen were mightily astonished at this project ; neither were their husbands void of amazements at this subtile invention. If Mr. Fuller thought it strange that the devil s black guard should be enrolled God s soldiers, they made it no less wonderful that their innocent and harmless wives should thus be entered a white guard to the devil. This action was a method in war they were not well acquainted with (no, not those the best informed in military affairs), that before they coul...d come to pierce their enemies sides, they must be obliged to dart their weapons through their wives breast ; by which means though they (in their own persons) might escape without wounds, yet it might be the lament able fate of their better half to drop by gun-shot, or otherwise be wounded to death.
Whether it was these considerations, or some others I do not know, that kept their swords in their scabbards, but this is manifest : That Bacon knit more knots by his own head in one day than all the hands in town were able to untie in a whole week ; while these ladies white aprons became of greater force to keep the besieged from falling out than his works (a pitiful trench) had strength to repel the weakest shot that should have been sent into his leaguer, had he not made use of this invention.
