What reading level is Pompeii And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As long tradition drew past scenes and glories near What sorrow, agony, and deep despair.
The plea of conquest for the faith hath made !
What plans aggressive and ambitious care Have been exhibited in war's vile trade.
While, to excuse all bloodshed, it was said.
That to bring on the long-expected hour Of Christian triumph was the sly train laid !
How oft the cross has glistened on the tower That avarice rudely seized, to raise its worldb power !
THOUGHTS ON THE CONQUEST OF GRANADA. 55 Within G...ranada's flowery, wide domain, Strove rival kings to gain supremacy.
The father's hand against his son in vain Was raised, who sought himself by craft to be Granada's sovereign. In humihty His crown usurped he long was forced to wear, And for his filial wrong, indignity From all compelled was he in grief to bear ; Of dire misfortune hard he had a constant share.
The proud Alhambra, where his fathers reigned.
He saw seized firmly by the Christian's might ; His sumptuous palaces strong force obtained.
