What reading level is Complete Poetical Works book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I was born Within Savona's walls, of gentle blood.
On Tiber's banks my youth was dedicate To sacred studies; and the Roman Shep- herd Gave to my charge Urbino's numerous flock.
Well did I watch, much laboured, nor had power To escape from many and strange indigni- ties; Was smitten by the great ones of the world, But did not fall; for Virtue braves all shocks, Upon herself resting immoveably.
Me did a kindlier fortune then invite To serve the glorious Henry, King of France, And in his hands I s...aw a high reward Stretched out for my acceptance, — but Death came.
Now, Reader, learn from this my fate, how false, How treacherous to her promise, is the world ; And trust in God — to whose eternal doom Must bend the sceptred Potentates of earth.
IV.
1810. 1815 There never breathed a man who, when his life Was closing, might not of that life relate Toils long and hard. — The warrior will report Of wounds, and bright swords flashing in the field, And blast of trumpets. He who hath been doomed To bow his forehead in the courts of kings, Will tell of fraud and never-ceasing hate, Envy and heart-inquietude, derived 39° EPITAPHS From intricate cabals of treacherous friends.
