What reading level is Select Beauties of Ancient English Poetry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'i49.
118 DESCRIPTIVE PIECES.
With the leflectiou that tlieir armour gave.
As it till then had ne'er seen any light; Which, striving there preheiiiinence to have.
Darkness therewith so daringly doth light.
That each confounding other, both appear. As darkness light, and light but darkness were.
The craggy cliffs, which cross them as they go. Made as their passage they would have deny'd. And threat'ned them their journey to foreslow, As angry with the path that was their guide, And sadly seera'd... their discontent to show To the vile hand that did them first divide ; Whose cumb'rous falls and risings seem'd to say, So ill an action could not brook the day.
And by the lights, as they along were led, Their shadows then them following at their back. Were like to mourners carrying forth their dead. And as the deed, so were they, ugly black. Or like to fiends that them had followed. Pricking them on to bloodshed and to wrack; Whilst the light look'd as it had been amaz'd At their deformed shapes, whereon it gaz'd.
