What reading level is Idylls And Lyrics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Or is it Musa's battle-call ?
A sudden sally, while the foe Sleeps off his last night's wine ? Ah, no !
Such eagle-swoops need stronger wings Than bear our legions now. Hark ! loud and louder still it rings, And loud the murmurs grow.
See, where the torches' lurid light Flash red on many a Moorish knight. But more than mailed men are there. Well may the sleepy households stare On matron fair and maiden mild, And many a tired and weeping child, And many a peaceful citizen, And Moorish priests, a...nd serving-men !
142 THE FLIGHT OF THE ABENCERRAGE.
They move like mourners of the dead, In silence and dismay : No proud triumphal cavalcade, No festal band are they.
What chief is he whose trumpet-tongue Through all their weeping ranks has rung ? They would not crowd thus closely round A laggard at the gathering sound. Tis Musa of the eye of light, Far flashing like a star ; And his that plume of spotless white, That leads the Moorish war.
Grenada's bravest chieftain he, Her trust in her extremity !
