What reading level is Sonnets And Miscellaneous Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Desire ! I have too dearly bought, With price of mangled mind, thy worthless ware ; Too long, too long, asleep thou hast me brought, Who should my mind to higher things prepare. But yet in vain thou hast my ruin sought ; In vain thou mad'st me to vain things aspire ; In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire ; For Virtue hath this better lesson taught, Within myself to seek my only hire, Desiring nought but how to kill Desire.
Treasure in Heaven LEAVE me, O Love, which readiest but to dust ; And... thou, my mind, aspire to higher things ; Grow rich in that which never taketh rust : Whatever fades, but fading pleasure brings. Draw in thy beams, and humble all thy might To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be ; Which breaks the clouds, and opens forth the light That doth both shine and give us sight to see. O take fast hold ! let that light be thy guide In this small course which birth draws out to death, And think how evil becometh him to slide, Who seeketh heav'n, and comes of heav'nly breath.
