What reading level is Ben Jonson And the Classical School book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
108, p. 34.
Thou rather striv'st the matter to possess The elements of honor than the dress. Epig. 109, p. 34.
I modestly quit that, and think to write Next morn an ode; thou mak'st a song e'er night. Epiy. 112, p. 35.
I pity thy ill luck That both for wit and sense so oft doth pluck. Ibid.
But blood not minds, but minds did blood adorn, And to live great, was better than great born. Epig. 116, p. 37.
Who sees a soul in such a body set Might love the treasure for the cabinet. Epig. 125, p. 39.
...^Epigram LXXXIX, fol. 1640, 1, p. 25.

forms which theoretically he disapproved. He had the sanc- tion of Catullus and Tibullus for his lyrics, but he even stooped to write a few sonnets, to bits of pastoral in the prevailing mode like a Nymph's Passion, and to concetti after the manner of the Marinists, like the dainty trifle, That Women are but Men's Shadows. This eclecticism of practice in the great classical theorist combined with the strong influence of Donne's subtle novelty of treatment and the older romantic influence of Spenser, perpetuated in men like Drayton, Drummond and the later Spenserians, delayed the incoming tide of classicism, which setting in, none the less, about the time of the accession of Charles I, became the chief current until after the Restoration, and reached its full when Milton, the last of the Elizabethans, died.
