What reading level is Hero And Leander, a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By fury lashed, the patient anger slow, And even wroth they 're quiet well below.
Yet woe to those that trusted their support In an old bottom of some dead wit's make.
He 's soon disposed of who, without resort.
Steals to be topmost when the dull awake.
And such a luckless, self-reliant thief Is this Leander's strength, now come to grief.
Its sly accomplice — Thracian Hero's beauty — Appears inclined to favor black-veiled Nox, Even as men love toil, when care and duty, Debarring sorrow, solve t...he paradox.
But beauty has no will — like strength it dies If what can save is far, or, near, soon flies.
40 HERO AND LEANDER.
It cannot even weather brief suspense, Becoming homely in one hour of fright.
Fool that it is, it waits on giddy sense, Seeking in manners loud its chief delight : And when demurely clad it seems to cry, O see how fair and lovable am I !
First coveted in health, last in disease.
It is the mistress of endangered pride.
Oh, Hero is not well in this stiff breeze ; She thinks not of her face, her form, her side.
