What reading level is The Ballade book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
481, ff.
72 in British Museum MS. Harley 7333, Purse is headed ' ' A sup- plicacion to Kyng Richard by Chaucier. ' ' 73 w. W. Skeat, Complete Works of Chaucer (Oxford, 1894), Vol. I, p. 562. Cf. Also E. Fliigel, Chauceriana Minora, Anglia, XXI, p. 245.
244 THE BALLADE Eustache Deschamps, . . . Written on a similar occasion, viz. After the death of Charles V of France, and the acces- sion of Charles VI, who had promised Deschamps a pension but had not paid it. ' n4 Apparently both Deschamps 75 a...nd Chaucer were prompted to write by similar circumstances, and both poets, like ordinary men who are impoverished, cherished similar sentiments. But Chaucer may quite easily have written his complaint without having been famil- iar with Deschamps 's cheerless ballade. The French and the English poems show little similarity in metrical struc- ture. The former has three eight-line stanzas, riming a b a b b c b c, and a six-line envoy riming b b c b c b; the latter, as we have noticed, three seven-line stanzas (aba b b c c), and a five-line envoy (a a b b a).
