What reading level is The Last David And Other Poems book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If my will Hold good for aught with the great King, this city And her high Temple crown, shall feel no touch Of violating hands — nor shall true priest Or faithful prophet lose one drop of blood. Our lord is no mere torturer — though stern To such as wrong him, he will never push His anger to the bitter end, but ever Yields graciously to them that sue him right. He loves not war ; the battle crash to him Is hateful ; he would have no enemies ; But when one shakes the corner of his power He turn...s on him perforce. If that blind King Of thine had meddled not with Pharaoh, still His throne had stood on peace. The rule of aught The Last David, 33 The west encircles must of nature fall To one of two, King Hophrah or our lord ; . If Hophrah gain it, then the realm of Babel Trembles from end to end ; but if with us The lordship stay, our master's seat is sure, And having peace on one side, he is free To centre all his strength (with due allowance For guard of sunward borders) on his purpose, Whereon his soul is set, of rearing up Rich palace-roofs, and temples at whose glory His fathers would turn pale.
