What reading level is Collected Verses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
TO JOHN BINGHAM.
(THE FIRST NAME IN THE REPTON REGISTER, 162O. ) YOU, whose forgotten name appears The foremost in the tale, We bid you through the vanished years, First of Reptonians, hail.
How many flying terms have come And gone since you were schooled, And pored on exercise or sum, When Master Whitehead ruled !
You entered, as the books assert, Ere Laud and Went worth died, Before the Chalgrove carbines hurt Heroic Hampden's side.
You saw much bitter history made And stirring scenes belike.... In days when sombre Ironsides bade His crop-eared churls to strike.
io8 TO JOHN BINGHAM We picture you a Royalist, Whose tender tears would fall For that pale figure in the mist Of dawn, before Whitehall.
Nay ! these be fancies : what we know We would in peace enjoy, That here, three centuries ago, You lived a Repton boy.
And though you pass beyond the Arch To distant shadowy realms.
Yet while the roaring wind of March Still rocks these ancient elms, It is a pleasant thing to find That Time, with all his powers.
