What reading level is Selections of Juvenile And Miscellaneous Poems Written Or Translated book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There, in a narrow hut, mean and obscure, Joyless and wretched, dwelt the German boor ; While princely halls, magnificent and wide, Contrasted poverty with wealth and pride. There Russian peasants, doom'd to bootless toil, Were bought and sold together with the soil ; And Swedish hordes were sunk in dreamless sleep, Where stormy Baltic roll'd his mighty deep. Here Britain's fairer isle in prospect lay, Queen of the earth, and mistress of the sea. The silver Thames, upon his bosom, bore A thousa...nd ships from Europe's farthest shore, And gentle Avon slowly moved along, Where sages listen'd to the poet's song. Here infant knowledge, driven by savage foes, From tedious flight had dared to seek repose. But genius sung, and science strove in vain, While Europe bow'd beneath the tyrant's chain : Her haughty nobles seized the reins of might, And wealth and grandeur triumph'd over right ; While lawless kings were sceptred on their thrones, And tears were mingled with the people's groans. The heavenly stranger, overwhelm'd with care, Now paused awhile, convulsed in mute despair, Then spread her glitt'ring wings, prepared to fly, And seek her native mansions in the sky.
