What reading level is Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For sure some foe to innocence beguiles, When harmless doves attempt the serpent's wiles.
True, Fashion's laws her ready votaries screen.
And ogling beaux exclaim, Oh Goddess ! Queen !
But, vile the praise and adoration sought By arts degrading to each nobler thought !
A base-born love those notes of praise inspires ; That incense rises from unhallowed fires.
If deaf while shame and purity complain, If reason's gentle voice be rais'd in vain, Learn from the scented nosegay in your hand The char...ms that can alone true love command.
The flaunting tulip you reject with scorn.
Though ting'd with all the hues that deck the morn ; And, careful, search for humbler flowers which bloom Beneath the grass, yet scatter sweet perfume.
The buds which only half their sweets disclose You fondly seize, but leave the full-blown rose.
Humble the praise, and trifling the regard Which ever wait upon the moral bard !
72 MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
But there remains a hateful truth unsung Which burns tlie cheek, and faulters on the tongue ; And which, if modesty still hover round, Each virgin breast with sorrow must confound.
