What reading level is Modern Antiquity And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
71 Thy still retreating Paradise Flies, as we near the spot ; A land from hope our Pisgah still, Explored, but enter'd not.
Delusion, Salem's dotard king In pleasures past could see: Who kens the same in those to come Is wiser far than he.
A TRUISM.
No man can give, 'tis falsely tfwuyht, Another what he has not got : Nelson, that not a grain could boast Of fear himself, gave others most; And many a muse, that never nods, Can lull to sleep both men and gods.
72 MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
DESPAIR.
TIME..., on thy shield of adamant, Shivers his scythe ; the shock Is as the wave that breaks in foam Around th' impassive rock.
Fate's direst page unmoved to read Is thine, and thine alone; Thy Gorgon glance both Hope and Fear Hath petrified to stone.
Full oft before thy withering scowl Death drops his dark design; Or, grasping thee, recoils to find An icier hand in thine !
73 ON THE STATUE OE THE VENUS DE MEDICIS.
DISCOMFITED, dejected here!
Both Time and Nature stand : This his destructive scythe distrusts, This her creative hand.
