What reading level is At the Sign of the Lyre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is battered and tattered, — it little avails That once it was lacquered, and glistened with nails ; For its leather is cracked into lozenge and square, Like a canvas by Wilkie, — that old Sedan chair ! See, — here came the bearing-straps ; here were the holes For the poles of the bearers — when once there were poles ; It was cushioned with silk, it was wadded with hair, As the birds have discovered, — that old Sedan chair ! "Where's Troy?" says the poet! Look, — under the seat, Is a nest wit...h four eggs, — 'tis the favoured retreat THE OLD SEDAN CHAIR. Of the Muscovy hen, who has hatched, I dare swear, Quite an army of chicks in that old Sedan chair ! And yet — Can't you fancy a face in the frame Of the window, — some high-headed damsel or dame, Be-patched and be-powdered, just set by the stair, While they raise up the lid of that old Sedan chair ? Can't you fancy Sir Plume, as beside her he stands, With his ruffles a-droop on his delicate hands, With his cinnamon coat, with his laced solitaire, As he lifts her out light from that old Sedan chair ?
