What reading level is Old Ballads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The boatswain gave the dreadful word, The sails their swelling bosoms spread;No longer must she stay on board: They kissed, she sighed, he hung his head. Her lessening boat, unwilling, rows to land;"Adieu!" she cried, and waved her lily hand.
_J. Gay. _ DUNCAN GRAY.
Duncan Grey came here to woo, Ha, ha, the wooing o't, On blythe yule night when we were fou, Ha, ha, the wooing o't. Maggie coost' her head fu' high, Look'd asklent and unco skeigh, Gart poor Duncan stand abeigh; Ha, ha, the woo...ing o't.
Duncan fleech'd, and Duncan pray'd; Ha, ha, the wooing o't, Meg was deaf' as Ailsa Craig, Ha, ha, the wooing o't. Duncan sigh'd baith out and in, Grat his een baith bleer't and blin', Spak o' lowpin o'er a linn; Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
Time and chance are but a tide, Ha, ha, the wooing o't, Slighted love is sair to bide, Ha, ha, the wooing o't. Shall I, like a fool, quoth he, For a haughty hizzie dee?She may gae to--France for me, Ha, ha, the wooing o't.
