What reading level is The Merry Muse; Society Verse By American Writers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To keep a-light and yet burn slowly ; To break ill spells about me flung As with the enchanted whiff of Moly !
MV MEERSCHAUMS.
This uarghileh, whose hue betrays Perique from soft Louisiana, In Egypt once beguiled the days Of Tewfik*s dreamy-eyed Sultana.
Speaking of color, do you know A maid with eyes as darkly splendid As are the hues that rich and slow On this Hungarian bowl have blended ?
Can artist paint the fiery glints Of this quaint finger here beside it, With amber nail — the lustrous t...ints, A thousand Partagas have dyed it ?
" And this old silver patched affair ? " Well, sir, that meerschaum has its reasons For showing marks of time and wear ; For in its smoke through fifty seasons My grandsire blew his cares away !
And, then, when done with life's sojourning, At seventy-five dropped dead one day, That pipe between his set teeth burning !
" Killed him ? " No doubt ! it's apt to kill In fifty years' incessant using — Some twenty pipes a day. And still, On that ripe, well filled lifetime musing, I envy oft so bright a part — To live as long as life's a treasure ; MV MEERSCHAUMS.
