What reading level is The Tours of Doctor Syntax book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The doors no noisy knocker plied To bid the portals open wide ; But when the fingers touch'd the string Soft silver bells in cadence ring, Which a smart, tunefid Indian call To give admittance to the hall, While his big pouting lips dispense The pipe's Pandean eloquence.
Thus Syntax did an entrance gain.
And soon his ear was charm'd to pain ; For, in each window there reclin'd 1 A harp that felt the sweep refin'd \ Of the soft zephyrs' waving wind ; J IN SEARCH OF A WIFE 147 No hands could touc...h the strings so fine.
What sweety what solemn airs divine Now up the diapason roll} Then sink again into the soul.
And wake sweet musings in the heart, 'l As seraphs did a hymn impart V Beyond the reach of mortal art ; j And did enchantment soft supply.
By its aerial minstrelsy.
The Doctor passM through many a door ; The little Negro walked before, And, in his way, he play'd a tune, *Till they had reach'd a gay saloon.
Whose ceiling and its walls display'd A various kind of serenade.
Where all the Muses nine appear In Heliconian character : Nay, Music all around inspires ; — The very chairs are deck'd with lyres, While satyrs, with their piping reed, Support the sofa's lolling bed ; And clocks with spreading symbols screen Their dials that they scarce are seen ; Not plac'd so much to mark the time.
