What reading level is The Lusiad of Luis De Camoens Books I to V book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The king of Nile chastised for Sara's fear, Shechem for Dinars wrong, are lessons clear.
122 THE LUSIAD.
CXLI.
" Would great and lofty breasts be warned to slmii The frenzy of incontinent desire.
Let them but look upon Alcmena's son ; Alcides spins in Omphale's attire !
By what was glorious Antony undone ?
The swart Egyptian''s wildering glance of fire ; The Apulian girl that conquered Hannibal Saved Rome, and hurried Carthage to her fall.
CXLII.
" But who can say he ne'er was caught perchance ...By Love that finely spreads his artful snare 'Mid living roses, and the lights which dance On alabaster brow and auburn hair ; Ne'er felt the sorcery of a woman's glance, — Say rather, a Medusa's awfal air.
That strikes its spell of beauty through the frame.
The heart converting not to stone but flame.
CXLIII.
" Who can resist the softly stedfast gaze Of Beauty, and her meek angelic smile, Which draws into itself the soul that plays Too near the sweetness of that perfect guile ? He whom experience tells how love betrays Will spare Fernando lest the bolt recoil : But he whose heart as yet is fancy-free Will judge more harshly, till he need the plea.
