What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the left side the Marquises maintainTheir place, but the right side the Dukes retain, And till the roof, embattled by Spignus, But worn by time that even that subdues, Shall fall upon their heads, these forms will standThe grades confronting--one on either hand. While in advance beyond, with haughty head--As if commander of this squadron dread--All waiting signal of the Judgment Day, In stone was seen in olden sculptors' wayCharlemagne the King, who on the earth had foundOnly twelve knights ...to grace his Table Round.
The crests were an assembly of strange things, Of horrors such as nightmare only brings. Asps, and spread eagles without beak or feet, Sirens and mermaids here and dragons meet, And antlered stags and fabled unicorn, And fearful things of monstrous fancy born. Upon the rigid form of morion's sheenWinged lions and the Cerberus are seen, And serpents winged and finned; things made to frightThe timid foe, alone by sense of sight. Some leaning forward and the others back, They looked a growing forest that did lackNo form of terror; but these things of dreadThat once on barons' helms the battle ledBeneath the giant banners, now are still, As if they gaped and found the time but ill, Wearied the ages passed so slowly by, And that the gory dead no more did lieBeneath their feet--pined for the battle-cry, The trumpet's clash, the carnage and the strife, Yawning to taste again their dreadful life.
