What reading level is Discovery of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His high ideal like a beacon shone, A constant light that led him ever on ; While oft his crew s low-thoughted lust of gain Fettered his will and made all effort vain.
Pass quickly by the sickening, sordid strife For wealth at sacrifice of human life; For doubtful honor much too dearly bought Where cunning power with honest merit fought. Let petty worldlings scramble for the spoils ; True worth and honor shun their vulgar broils.
Columbus struggles bravely with his fate. Envy and craft and gree...d and secret hate Obstruct his path with well-contrived delay ; On mind and body care and sickness prey. Yet on he presses. No malign portent Has power to make his constant heart relent. At last ingratitude rewards his pains : The hero languishes in felon s chains.
10 Unequal contest, where bare merit vied With titles and hereditary pride.
t When nature s workman has performed his task, She bids him stand aside, nor questions ask Of honors and rewards he may deserve. Enough reward and honor but to serve.
