What reading level is Ovid book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And justify the act with open war.
The boundless pasftion boils within his breast, And his projecting soul admits no rest, 680 Digitized by VjOOQ IC METAMORPHOSES.— BOOK VI. 185 And nqw, impatient of the least delay.
By pleading Procne's cause, he speeds his way : The eloquence of love his tongue inspires, And, in his wife's, he speaks his own desires ; Hence all his importunities arise, 685 And tears unmanly trickle from his eyes.
Ye gods ! what thick involving darkness blinds The stupid facul...ties of mortal minds 1 Tereus the credit of good nature gains From these his crimes ; so well the villain feigns, 690 And, unsuspecting of his base designs.
In the request fair Philomela joins ; Her snowy arms her aged sire embrace.
And clasp his neck with an endearing grace : Only to see her sister she intreats, 696 A seeming blessing, which a curse completes.
Tereus surveys her with m luscious eye, And in his mind forestalls the blissful joy : Her circling arms a scene of love inspire.
And ev'ry kiss foments the raging fire.
