What reading level is The Battle of Trafalgar a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In vain : for, Nelson sees them as they fly, And views their progress with an eagle eye ; Like to the bird which bears the bolts of Jove, And hurls his vengeance from the realms above, 9 Which upward and undazzled soars his way, Full in the radiant glories of the day, He sees them fly and marks them for his prey.
Fir'd with his Country's wrongs, his pulses beat ; Victoria bears him to the Battle's heat.
The combat joins, and now from blazing sides, Deep bursting thunder echoes o'er the tides ; ...Thick as the driving hail, the missive balls Pierce the strong timbers of the Wooden Walls, Grim Death, triumphant, wings the adverse fires ; Shakes his fell dart whilst many a life expires ! — Horror, confusion, universal wreck, Preside, while purple torrents stain each deck !
So from Vesuvius' inly tortur'd frame.
Breaks forth thro' sable clouds th'imprison'd flame; The molten mountain deluges the land, And whelms the labour of the peasant's hand : Vainly he seeks by flight to save his life ; Involv'd he sinks, unequal to the strife.
