What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He seem'd to be without resolve, tho' death was in delay, And gave our youthful king the chance a skilful part to play. Delay may be his lucky star procrastinate the strife ; For what is fatal to the foe to him shall be the life. He sent ambassadors of peace on board their anchor'd ships, But war was plotting in his heart while peace was on his lips. The plan applauded was by fate at length a storm arose, And while the Scots were looking on, the tempest struck the blows. Some ships were shatt...er'd on the shore some on each other dash'd; And angry wind took up the waves, and the invaders lash'd All thro' the night, and the next day the storm did not abate ; A Scottish army drawing near the end of this to wait. But when a second night had pass'd and day again awoke, The sun, like captive king set free, in purple splendour broke, And flinging back the misty clouds that now grew silvery pale, He seemed to light ten thousand fires one in each warrior's mail. The foe seem'd dazzled and surprised this army to behold, But not dismay'd, for they were men whose courage was not cold.
