What reading level is Kathrina, a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She held within her hand My heart, my life, my doom, yet knew it not; And had she known, her soul was under vows \Vhich would forever make subordinate Their recognized possession. But the morn Brought with it better mood and calmer thought: I had the grace to gauge the heartlessness Of my exactions, and the power to crush The tyrant wish to tear her from the throne To which she clung. I said : "So she love me As a true woman loves, and give herself Her sweet, pure self to me, and fill my home W...ith her dear presence, loyal still to me In wifely love and wifely offices, Though she abide in Christian loyalty By Christian vows, she shall have liberty, And hold it as her right. " She was my peer ; No weakling girl, who would surrender will And life and reason, with her loving heart, To her possessor ; no soft, clinging thing Kathrina. 89 Who would find breath alone within the arms Of a strong master, and obediently Wait on his whims in slavish carefulness ; No fawning, cringing spaniel, to attend His royal pleasure, and account herself Rewarded by his pats and pretty words.
