What reading level is The Modern Scottish Minstrel , volume I. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'Twas but at the dawin', Clear the cock was crawin', I saw Peggy cawin' Hawky by the brier. Early bells were ringin', Blythest birds were singin', Sweetest flowers were springin', A' her heart to cheer.
Now the tempest's blawin', Almond water 's flowin', Deep and ford unknowin', She maun cross the day. Almond waters, spare her, Safe to Lynedoch bear her! Its braes ne'er saw a fairer, Bess Bell nor Mary Gray.
Oh, now to be wi' her! Or but ance to see her Skaithless, far or near, I 'd... gie Scotland's crown. Byeword, blind 's a lover-- Wha 's yon I discover? Just yer ain fair rover, Stately stappin' down.
[53] Another song with the same title, "Saw ye nae my Peggy?" isinserted in the Collections. It first appeared in Herd's Collection, in1769, though it is understood to be of a considerably older date. AllanRamsay composed two songs to the same air, but they are both inferior. The air is believed to have originally been connected with someexceptionable words, beginning, "Saw ye my Maggie?" GUDE NICHT, AND JOY BE WI' YE A'!
