What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then Milton* saw thee, like an eagle mue Thy mighty youth, and thine undazl'd eye. S Kindle at the midday beam, he saw thee rise Invincible and spread thy wings anew For loftier flights, and thine abused sight Purge at the fount itself of pure and heavenly light.
III. Alas ! too weak of wing thou flutter'dst down From that pure air ; thou couldst not bear the light Of Liberty, full on thy naked sight, And soughtst again the shadow of the crown. Yet, England ! yet, a true and just renown, A deat...hless glory hast thou won, in spite Of weakness then, since thou hast dar'd to fight * Areopagitica.
86 ODE TO ENGLAND.
Against a Crowned Head and braved a Priesthood's fi'own. ¥or this we honour thee, yea deem thee great Among the nations, and with keenest pain Perceive thee listening to the fatal strain Of siren songs, that lure thee to thy fate. Chiefest among them is the voice of Gain, That weaves its deadly knots around thy heart and brain.
IV. Accursed Siren ! England lur'd by thee Forswears her past, upon her hallow'd soil Builds up an altar with unceasing toil, Unto the Golden God, where Luxury, Attendant Priest, her blood-bought Hberty Offers a sacrifice.
