What reading level is Horace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
23) about his doleful ditties on the fickleness of his mis- tress Glycera, he owns to having himself sufi'ered ter- ribly in the same way. But despite all this, it is very obvious that if love has, in Kosalind's phrase, " clapped him on the shoulder," the little god left him " heart- whole." Being, as it is, the source of the deepest and- strongest emotions, love presents many aspects for the humorist, and perhaps to no one more than to him who has felt it intensely. Horace may or may not have ...sounded the depths of the passion in his own person ; but, in any case, a fellow-feeling for the lover's pleas- ures and pains served to infuse a tone of kindliness into his ridicule. How charming in this way is the Ode to Lydia (I. 8), of which the late Henry Luttrel's d by Google 122 HORACE, once popular and still delightfal ' Letters to Julia ' is an elaborate paraphrase ! — " Why, Lydia, why, I pray, by all the gods above, Art so resolved that Sybaris should die, And all for love 1 " Why doth he shun The Campus Martins' sultry glare ?
