What reading level is Pope's Essay On Man, And Essay On Criticism; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
how the style refines !
Before his sacred name flies ev'ry fault.
And each exalted stanza teems with thought !
The vulgar thus through imitation err, As oft the learned by being singular ; 425 So much they scorn the crowd, that if the throng By chance go right, they purposely go wrong ; So schismatics the plain believers quit.
And are but damned for having too much wit.
Some praise at morning what they blame at night ; 430 But always think the last opinion right.
A Muse by these is like a mistr...ess used.
This hour she 's idolized, the next abused ; While their Aveak heads like towns unfortified, 'Twixt sense and nonsense daily change their side. 435 Ask them the cause ; they 're wiser still, they say ; And still to-morrow 's wiser than to-day.
We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow ; Our wiser sons, no doubt, will think us so.
Once school-divines this zealous isle o'erspread ; 440 Who knew most sentences, was deepest read ; Faith, gospel, all, seemed made to be disputed, And none has sense enough to be confuted : ESSAY ON CRITICISM.
