What reading level is Laments book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From my eyelids there do flowTears, and I must weep e'en soEver, ever. Lord of Light, Who can hide him from thy sight!
Though we shun the stormy sea, Though from war's affray we flee, Yet misfortune shows her faceHowsoe'er concealed our place.
Mine a life so far from fameFew there were could know my name;Evil hap and jealousyHad no way of harming me.
But the Lord, who doth disdainFlimsy safeguards raised by man, Struck a blow more swift and sureIn that I was more secure.
Poor philosophy, so lat...eOf its power wont to prate, Showeth its incompetenceNow that joy proceedeth hence.
Sometimes still it strives to proveHeavy care it can remove;But its little weight doth failTo raise sorrow in the scale.
Idle is the foolish claimHarm can have another name:He who laughs when he is sad, I should say was only mad.
Him who tries to prove our tearsTrifles, I will lend mine ears;But my sorrow he therebyDoth not check, but magnify.
Choice I have none, I must needsWeep if all my spirit bleeds. Calling it a graceless partOnly stabs anew my heart.
