What reading level is Devon: a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Where Nature captivates, quit moody thought.
And let no hirsute Satyr habit long Refreshing haunts of rural Deities ; Where Zephyrs fan the air with gentle gales, And from the South where Aill Favonius breathes.
Where Boreas is shut out by laughing hills.
Looking upon the bosom of the deep.
Which foUn a Terdant Ampitheatre, Arcadian Valley, or fair Tempers vale. — Hills where AppoUo and the tuneful Nine, Might deign io dwell, and hold their graceful Court, That with Olympus and Parnassus vie —
...Nor this our lay, half ethic, pastoral, Embue with ought, sustaining, or sustained.
But tranquil glide our Rythm as our course.
And leave (so long deferred) the doubtful boon; Whether till death protracted, or denied — For in the vale of life, when Fate may call.
Digitized by LjOOQIC 12 PSVON* Such reminiscence-Tviey no more affects.
^-There is a bright reverse of every ill.
Soon fa4^s th^ slender flpw'r, that blossoms soon^ The sturdier growth, if ftlpw, for y^rg ifurviy^s ; An easy victory is soofi overthrown.
