What reading level is Philip Ii of Spain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What of bloody Mary? Did she not send her sister Elizabeth to a dungeon, and threaten her life ? What Became of Lady Grey, of her father and husband ? What became of Warwick, of Piat and of Bishop Cranmer ? Are they less to be pitied than Mon- tigny ? Were not hundreds of her subjects burned without mercy ? Had she not organized an army of hangmen whose standard was the gallows ? Had not, under her reign, the axe of the public execu tioner become the sceptre of England? What of Scotland ? Were ...her rulers more tender-hearted ? Were not adultery and murder seated on her throne, whilst round it the weird sisters, with their choppy fingers on their lips, led their hideous dance ? Was not the great Elizabeth as perfidious as Philip, and far more licentious ? Was she not as cruel, she whom poetry represents as a " fair vestal throned by the West, 7 but whom history brands as " the PHILIP II. OF SPAIN. 87 mistress of nine acknowledged lovers ? " Her father beheaded his wives. Was she less infamous and heartless when doing the same office to her para mours ?
