What reading level is Gullane a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The master he sits down, ne'er says a word, Although the noise and din he must have heard Perhaps he thinks it all in vain to speak — In moral suasion master's very weak ; fSuch notion held he surely in contempt, For never knew I him make the attempt.
The young lad with the tawse yields up the charge, Of his now prime importance feeling large.
How much improved are schools, — aye, masters, too ! How differently their work they now pursue! — To college first they are compelled to go, And how to ...teach are taught aright to know. The teaching here, scarce worthy of the name, Thrashing and teaching jointly were the same. No patient art or skill was ever used, And many noble minds were here abused. (The fearful whippings which poor me did get Are not effaced from recollection yet !) Yet, notwithstanding, master did his best — Peace to his manes ! his soul hath gone to rest. We blame the times, — those times some praise as good ; Teaching in his day was little understood.
Tread gently, slowly, there's a grave yard near ; Let's pause, and stay to drop a silent tear O'er precious dust, to her I sing, most dear : Her Sire, a man of patriarchal grace, Beloved by all who knew his genial face.
