What reading level is Irish Eclogues book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
26 THE RIVER MEADOW Morning and noon time and evening Comes a young maiden Porter and buttermilk carrying Willingly laden.
And while they drink under shadowy Willows eternal The meadow distils for them heavenly Scent of sweet-vernal. * * It may not be generally known that sweet-vernal is the name of the grass which gives the characteristic scent to freshly cut hay.
2 7 PALES AND CERES PALES I AM the goddess of the Golden Vale, I rule the downs and the fat plains of Meath, And to my devotees I c...an bequeath The rich sleek ox, the overflowing pail, The cool of summer dairies in the dale, Where lies the homestead, girdled with a wreath Of prying creepers groping underneath The thatch, the dingy beams within to scale.
And in the luscious pastures stand my kine, Some suckle calves, some plod home to the byre, Bullocks knee deep in pasture graze their fill, Or seek the shallows in a careless line, Or under shady branches lie quite still Chewing the cud with jaws that never tire.
28 PALES AND CERES CERES HEED not O Eire, the specious promises Of idle Pales, hearken unto me, I am the queen of life and energy ; I check the hopeful exile's eagerness ; I keep the life blood in my villages, For when I govern a community There will the pleasant sound of labour be 1 feel no pride in ranches tenantless.
