What reading level is The Complete Works of John Gower book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Cp. Metam, vi. 527 ff.
183. In the Glasgow MS. 'locuplex' has been altered to the more familiar ' locuples.' 141 f. Is. V. 8, 'Vae qui coniungitis domum ad domum et agrum agro copulatis usque ad terminum loci : numquid habitabitis vos soli in medio terrae ? * The same text is quoted in the Mtrour, 24541 ff.
144. By comparison with Mirour^ 24580 ff. we may see that the dissipation of the property by the son is here alleged as a proof that it has been ill acquired : 'Qu'ils font pourchas a la sen
...estre Le fin demoustre la verrour.' 176. forum^ i.e. the market price.
188. que foret equay '(the balance) which should be fair': so also * foret ' below, 1. 1 90.
203. Basiliscus : cp. Mirour^ 3748 ff.
209 f. Ovid, Pont, ii. 3. 39 f. (but * lasso' for 'lapso').
217. nam nemo dolose Mentis, &c. 'for no man of a crafty mind can have sure speech.' 225. tenebrescunt, * darken.' So other inceptives are used transitively, e.g. 'ditescere,' ii. 607, Cron, Trip, iii. 119.
283 f. 'And this lex, legiSy from ledo^ ledis, as ius from iurgo, administers justice at this present time.' It is meant that the ad- ministration of law, as we see it, suggests the above etymologies.
