What reading level is Vignettes in Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
while thy zeal the good inflame, And make a noble nature sigh for fame, We deem thee of a more than royal line, For self-devotion tendeth to divine!But when, like Dahab's demon, selfish, vain, It loosens Gratitude's mysterious chain;When broken Faith aloud, but vainly calls;When the warm friend, the king, the brother falls;Instead of honours, and a conqueror's fame, Hatred shall haunt, and curses brand thy name!
XXI.
LINES.
_Written for a Young Gentleman to speak at the Audit at St. Saviour'sSc...hool, Southwark, after the Battle of Trafalgar_.
-------- While others, from the Greek and Roman page, Declare the prudent councils of the sage;Or, in recital of achievements bold, Retrace the motives and the deeds of old, I, in the accents of my native clime, And, at the moment, shaking hands with Time, I, whom our recent loss forbids to roam, Shall plant my mourning standard nearer home!At the sad shrine where gallant Nelson sleeps, Where Britain bends her lofty head and weeps, Deeply lamenting that she cannot prove, The fond excess of dearly purchas'd love.
