What reading level is Lives of English Poets From Johnson to Kirke White Designed As a Continuation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Who, Sappho, wounds thy tender breast ?
Say, flies he 1 soon he shall pursue : Shuns he thy gifts ? he soon shall give : Slights he thy sorrows ? he shall grieve.
And soon to all thy wishes bow.
Akenside, b. 1, Ode 13.
This, though not unexceptionable, and particularly in the last verse, has yet a tenderness and spirit utterly wanting in Mason.
What from my power would Sappho claim ? Who scorns thy flame ?
218 LIVES or ENGLISH POETS.
What wayward boy- Disdains to yield tlieejoy for joy? Soon sh...all he court the bliss he flies ; Soon beg- the boon he now denies, And, hastening back to love and thee, Repay the wrong* with extacy.
In the Pygmalion, a lyrical scene, he has made an effort equally vain, to represent the impassioned elo- quence of Jean Jaques Rousseau.
In his shorter poems, there is too frequent a re- currence of the same machinery, and that, such as it needed but little invention to create. Either the poet himself, or some other person, is introduced, musing by a stream or lake, or in a forest, when the appearance of some celestial visitant, muse, spirit, or angel, suddenly awakens his attention.
