What reading level is Duganne's Poetical Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shall Foster prostitute a graceful pen.
To "slice up" outcast hags, and outlawed men?
Shall "Buntline" rave, and Wilkes his "pigeons" lure AjQd Ann-street's presses swell the common-sewer?
Shall ribald sheets their pandering pimps engage.
While Mose and Jakey prop a crumbling stage ; Shall "these things be," and yet nor voice nor pen, Scourge as with snakes the morals and the men ?
No ! though I loathe the quarry — let me speed One shaft, at least, against the scorpion breed !
Upas ! thy deadly... venom hath but the art To chill the warmth of some poor human heart !
Plague ! thou canst blister flesh and torture limb, 'Till the pulse slackens and the eye grows dim ; Simoom ! thy blast, swift-scouring o'er the plain.
May fire the blood and scorch the withering brain !
But ye are bounded in your fearful power — Your field the limits of life's little hour ; Trembles your empire on each fleeting breath : Your pangs, your perils, have their term in death !
Not so the Upas of a venal Press !
