What reading level is The Measures of the Poets; a New System of English Prosody book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this poem nearly half of the 4-foot lines have no upbeat. In // Penseroso the proportion of omission to insertion is only i to 4, as we might expect. A 5-foot line, on the contrary, loses in liveliness if it has no upbeat, unless the first foot is resolved ; and even a short succession of pentapodies beginning — ^ | - ^ | * The effect may, however, be counteracted by subject matter and language, as in the hymn Rock of Ages cleft for me.
THE TROCHAIC SCHEME ILLUSTRATED 43 would be disagreeabl...e if the rhythm had not an obvious purpose, as in Tennyson's Fision of Sin, 11 : Th6n me|thoiight I | heird a | m611ow | sound, Gathering | up from | all the | 16wer | grodnd ; Ndrrowing | In to | where they | sdt as|s6mbled L6w volliiptuous I milsic | wfnding | trembled, Wov'n in | circles : | they that | hedrd it | sfgh'd, Panted | hand in hand with faces pale, Swung them|selves, and in low tones replied ; Till the I fountain spouted, showering wide Sleet of I diamond-drift and pearly hail ; Then the | music touch'd the gates and died ; Rose a|gain from where it seem'd to fail, Storm'd in | orbs of song, a growing gale ; Till I thronging | in and | in...* Accordingly when the upbeat is wanting in our measure, the first foot is almost always resolved, as for instance in Man but a \ rush a|gainst 0|thgllo's | breast, and lines like the following, the first foot of which is a trochee or monosyllabic, are comparatively rare : (a) If 1 \ tilk to him, | with his | Innocent | prdte.
