What reading level is Virgil By the Rev W Lucas Collins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No more in martial exercise The youth engage, make strong the fort, Or shape the basin to a port. " The powers of Olympus here come again upon the scene. Juno sees, not without a secret satisfaction, the prospect of an entanglement between ^neas and Dido, which may detain these hated Trojans in Africa, and so prevent their settlement and dominion in Italy. So Carthage, and not the Eome of the future, may yet be the mistress of the world. She addresses herself at once to the goddess of love — no...t without a sneer at the success of her snares in poor Dido's case; a sorry triumph it is indeed — two divinities pitted against a weak woman ! But come — suppose in this matter they agree to act in concert ; let there be a union be- tween the two nations, and let Carthage be the seat of their joint power ; its citizens shall pay equal hon- ours to the queen of heaven and the queen of love. Venus understands perfectly well that Juno's motive is at any cost to prevent the foundation of Eome ; but, having a clearer vision (we must presume) than her great rival of the probable results, she agrees to the terms.
