What reading level is Poems of Wit And Humour book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But God forbid that a thief should die Without his share of the laws !
So I nimbly whipt my tackle out, And soon tied up his claws, I was judge myself, and jury, and all, And solemnly tried the cause.
But the beggar man would not plead, but cried Like a babe without its corals, For he knew how hard it is apt to go When the law and a thief have quarrels, There was not a Christian soul alive To speak a word for his morals.
THE LAST MAN.
Oh, how gaily I doff'd ray costly gear, And put on my work-d...ay clothes ; I was tired of such a long Sunday life, And never was one of the sloths ; But the beggar man grumbled a weary deal, And made many crooked mouths.
So I haul'd him off to the gallows' foot, And blinded him in his bags ; 'Twas a weary job to heave him up, For a doom'd man always lags ; But by ten of the clock he was off his legs In the wind and airing his rags !
So there he hung, and there I stood, The LAST MAN left alive, To have my own will of all the earth : Quoth I, now I shall thrive !
