What reading level is The Roman Martyr a Youthful Essay in Dramatic Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At first she seemed astonished, and looked round With hurried glances, shrinking from their gaze.
But soon collected, with a placid brow She stood, in majesty of fearless truth, A visible glory circling round her head; And all eyes fell, and the fierce roar was hushed.
Calmly she heard the threats of torturing death, Turned calmly from the proffered sacrifice, And, when at length she spoke, these were her words Words which alone I will remember now I am a Christian: for that faith I die.
Then s...ounded loud the fatal voice of doom, And she was hurried forth: yet still unchanged, Save when her eye in parting fell on me: Oh then her cheek grew paler than before, And for a while a dimness was between us.
Then ran a surging murmur through the crowd, For one so young, so beautiful, so brave, Untimely doomed to die a felon's death.
But, with stern voice and majesty of hand, The Prefect quelled that uproar: she was gone.
My tale is told: I go to die with her.
58 SCENE IV.
A Court belonging to the Prison.
