What reading level is Marforio And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first speaker has for many years brooded over the betrayal of his child, 'which lies at the door of a Prince of a great historical family. At the time of its occurrence, she -was the betrothed of the second speaker, who subsequently became a priest. The conversation bears mainly upon the assassination of the Prince.
"You hold it fit that he should die; Why then, he dies to-morrow morn. Nay, blench not ; 'tis a hate outworn That fears, and falters, and would cry Forbear ! ere yet the thrust ...is given That sets aright an old account. Look you, at last your soul shall mount Equal with his ; shall see his driven By one fierce gust of vengeful breath A speck along the gorge of death.
33 What ! shall I speak then in his praise, That you keep silent ? Sir, he fouled Your early fame, his hang-dogs howled You up and down life's honoured ways; He took the fruitage of your days, And tramped it into blood and dirt. I see remembrance still will spirt In flame along your pallid brow, But you're a priest, and so must bow The head, and turn a patient cheek.
