What reading level is Haileybury Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
hark ! to the battle the clarions sound, Each warrior prepares him, each steed paws the ground ! Soon, soon shall the earth shake and tremble beneath, And the eye flashing courage be darkened in death. O sec ye yon field where the valiant lie slain, Where the shield and the sword are strewn thick on the plain ?
42 ORPHEUS' SONG.
There chariot and charger arc weltering in gore, And the heroes that slumber shall wake never more. O give me the life of the helmet and shield, And the quick-coming de...ath on the corpse- covered field. 'Tis the life of the noble, the life of the brave, The happiest end, the most glorious grave. This, this be my lot when the trumpets are pealing, When rider and steed all around me are reeling, When brave men stand fast and the timorous fly, In the thick of the battle to live and to die. Then sing not of love and of pleasure to me, What rest or what peace have the bold and the free ? Keep your magic and spells for the coward and slave, Your mystic enchantments, they charm not the brave.
