What reading level is Hero And Leander book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This idol which you term virginityIs neither essence subject to the eyeNo, nor to any one exterior sense, Nor hath it any place of residence, Nor is't of earth or mould celestial, Or capable of any form at all. Of that which hath no being do not boast;Things that are not at all are never lost. Men foolishly do call it virtuous;What virtue is it that is born with us?Much less can honour be ascribed thereto;Honour is purchased by the deeds we do. Believe me, Hero, honour is not wonUntil some hono...urable deed be done. Seek you for chastity, immortal fame, And know that some have wronged Diana's name?Whose name is it, if she be false or notSo she be fair, but some vile tongues will blot?But you are fair, (ay me) so wondrous fair, So young, so gentle, and so debonair, As Greece will think if thus you live aloneSome one or other keeps you as his own. Then, Hero, hate me not nor from me flyTo follow swiftly blasting infamy. Perhaps thy sacred priesthood makes thee loath. Tell me, to whom mad'st thou that heedless oath?" "To Venus, " answered she and, as she spake, Forth from those two tralucent cisterns brakeA stream of liquid pearl, which down her faceMade milk-white paths, whereon the gods might traceTo Jove's high court.
