What reading level is Poems Dramatic And Lyrical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As sea-walls meet the trivial wave.
Justice and Peace their highest good. By sacred law they held their sway.
The ruler's instinct in their blood Taught them to govern and obey.
They crushed the proud, the weak they spared. They loosed the prostrate captive's chain : And civic rights and birthright shared Made him respect their equal reign. 75 HELLAS AND ROME They grappled in their nervous hands The nations as a lump of dough : To Calpe came their gleaming bands, To Ister grinding reefs of snow....
And where the reedy Mincius rolled By Manto's marsh the crystal swan, There Maro smote his harp of gold. And on the chords fierce glory shone.
The crested metre clomb and fell ; The sounding word, the burnished phrase Rocked on like ocean's tidal swell.
With sunbeam on the water-ways.
He sang the armoured man of fate, The father of eternal Rome, The great begetter of the great. Who piled the empire yet to come. 76 HELLAS AND ROME He sang of Daphnis, rapt to heaven, At threshold of Olympian doors, Who sees below the cloud rack driven, And wonders at the gleaming floors.
