What reading level is Horace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Helen was not the only fair By an unhappy passion fired, 90 Who the lewd ringlets of the hair Of an adulterous beau admired ; Court arts, gold lace, and equipage have charms To tempt weak woman to a stranger's arms.
Nor first from Teucer's vengeful bow d5 The feather'd death unerring flew.
Nor was the Greek the single foe Whose rage iil-fated llion knew ; 5 Our poet's country was formerly wild and uncultivated, where neither poet nor poetry had ever appeared. Horace therefore mentions it as mat...ter of peculiar honour to his works, that they should live for ever, although produced in a country unknown to Apollo'and the muses. — Dae.
9 The great idea which Horace had of Pindar did not hinder him from allowing the superioritv of Homer ; and on the con* trary, the great veneration which he had for Homer did not prejudice him against the real merit of Pindar.— Doc.
13 This is whole Anacreon at one stroke. No poet \\eltsT knew how to sport and trifle with a natural elegance and deli- cacy.
