What reading level is Fables of John Gay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What minister his place could hold Were falsehood banished from the court, Or truth to princes gain resort? The minister would lose his place, If he could not his foes disgrace.
For none is born a politician Who cannot lie by intuition: By which the safety of the throne Is kept--subservient to his own. For monarchs must be kept deluded By falsehood from the lips exuded, And, ministerial schemes pursuing, Care nothing for the public ruin.
Antiochus, lost in a chase, Traversed the woo...d with mended pace, And reached a cottage, sore distressed. A Parthian fed the regal guest, But knew not whom: the countryman, Warmed by unwonted wine, began To talk of courts and talk of kings: "We country folk, we see such things. They say the king is good and wise: Ah! we could open both his eyes. They say, God bless him! he means good. Ah! we could open them--we could;-- And show him how his courtiers ride us: They rob us, and they then deride us.
