What reading level is English Elegies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
] This rich marble doth inter The honoured wife of Winchester, A Viscount's daughter, an Earl's heir, Besides what her virtues fair Added to her noble birth, More than she could own from Earth.
Summers three times eight, save one, She had told ; alas ! too soon.
After so short time of breath, To house with darkness, and with death !
Yet had the number of her days Been as complete as was her praise, Nature and Fate had had no strife In giving limit to her life.
Her high birth, and her graces swe...et, Quickly found a lover meet: The virgin quire for her request The god that sits at marriage feast ; He at their invoking came, But with a scarce well-lighted flame ; And in his garland, as he stood, Ye might discern a cypress bud.
Once had the early matrons run To greet her of a lovely son.
And now with second hope she goes, And calls Lucina to her throes ; But whether by mischance or blame, Atropos for Lucina came ; And with remorseless cruelty Spoiled at once both fruit and tree.
The hapless babe before his birth Had burial, not yet laid in earth ; MILTON 41 And the languished mother's womb Was not long a living tomb.
