What reading level is The Complete Poetical Works of Gray Beattie Blair Collins Thomson And Kirke book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By wintry famine roused, from all the tract Of horrid mountains which the shining Alps, And wavy Apennine, and Pyrenees, Bi'anch out stupendous into distant lands ; Cruel as death, and hungry as the grave ! Burning for blood, bony, and gaunt, and grim ! Assembling wolves in raging troops descend ; And, pouring o'er the country, bear along, Keen as the north-wind sweeps the glossy snow. All is their prize. They fasten on the steed. Press him to earth, and pierce his mighty heart. Nor can the bul...l his awful front defend. Or sliake the murdering savages away. Rapacious, at the mothers throat they fly, And tear the screaming infant from her breast. The godlike face of man avails him nought. Even beaut}', force divine ! at whose bright glance The generous lion stands in soften'd gaze. Here bleeds, a hapless undistinguish'd prey. But if, apprised of the severe attack. The country be shut up, lured by the scent, On churchyards drear (inhuman to relate !) The disappointed prowlers fall, and dig The shrouded body from the grave ; o'er which, Mix'd with foul shades and frighted ghosts, they howl.
