What reading level is Propertius book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even a god, even heartless time, can turn.
78 Prtipertius XXVIII B Deficiunt magico To Cynthia: the Crisis and her Recovery.
THE whirligig spun to a chant of sorcery fails ; and the bay-branch lies charred on the quenched hearth ; the Moon now refuses to come down from the sky so often, and the bird of black feather sings a deathly note.
One barge of doom shall bear our loves, a blue-black vessel making sail for the pools of hell ; but not for one 5 only do I pray for pity — have pity on two vi...ctims ! I shall live if she lives, if she falls I shall fall. For this petition I pledge myself to a votive song : I will write ' My girl is alive by the grace of great Jove '. And my mistress in person shall make her offering and sit down at thy feet, and, as she sits there, recount her long lo perils.
O Persephone, may this thy merciful kindness con- tinue, and thou, Consort of Persephone, be not more hard-hearted ! There are so many thousands of beauties among the people underground ; if it be possible, let there be one pretty woman in the upper regions !
