What reading level is Occasional Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
AN INTERCEPTED LETTER.
I hold it wise, my lord, to quit This land, which undervalues me, And spend twelve solid months at sea, Or more if I should fancy it.
For truly I begin to doubt Our power to prop the tottering state.
If we assist a candidate Electors always throw him out.
And I, I jeopardise my seat At Barrow every time I vote ; And you — you may not care a groat — In Rossendale await defeat. % The less one does in times like these, The less the matter for regret. Constituents may well fo...rget Their members launched on distant seas.
32 Joe Chamberlain is not unwise. He finds Canadian fish to fry, And hopes that in the by-and-by His sunken star again may rise.
So put your men on board a ship (Named, if you please, the Union Jack), And steer them to Siam and back, And still protract the pleasant trip, While din of politics grows faint And fainter till it fails your ear ; You all may then live free from fear Of coarse constituents' complaint.
Scorn not my counsel. Who persists Most obstinately suffers most.
