What reading level is Life of S Ealdhelm First Bishop of Sherborne book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
128, Sed reuocare gradum superasque euadere ad auras, but we must remember that syllables, which suffer the metaplasmus of synaloepha, are never reckoned.
A verse of twelve syllables would consist of spondees only, a verse of thirteen would contain one dactyl and five spondees and so on, till we come to a verse of seventeen syllables, which would contain five dactyls and one spondee. There are then in all thirty-two Schemata of dactylic hexameter verse; in a twelve syllable verse one scheme, in... a thirteen syllable verse five schemes; in a fourteen syllable verse ten schemes, for the two dactyls may be in the first and second feet, or in the first and third, or in the first and fourth, or in the first and fifth, or in the second and third, or in the second and fourth, or in the second and fifth, or in the third and fourth, or in the third and fifth, or in the fourth and fifth. But really only four of these are admiss- 78 ible, namely those in which a dactyl occurs in the fifth foot.
He goes through all these possible schemes, and, as any one who knows the hexameter metre will easily see, he shews that these possible schemes are thirty-two in number but only seventeen are admissible.
