What reading level is The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Outward be fair, however foul within ; Sin if thou wilt, but then in secret sin.
This maxim 's into common favour grown, i Vice is no longer vice, unless 'tis known.
Virtue, indeed, may barefaced take the field ; But vice is virtue when 'tis well conceal'd.
Should raging passion drive thee to a whore, Let Prudence lead thee to a postern door ; 320 Stay out all night, but take especial care That Prudence bring thee back to early prayer.
As one with watching and with study faint, Reel in a drunka...rd, and reel out a saint.
With joy the youth this useful lesson heard, And in his memory stored each precious word ; Successfully pursued the plan, and now, Room for my Lord Virtue, stand by and bow.
And is this all is this the worldling's art, To mask, but not amend a vicious heart ? 330 Shall lukewarm caution, and demeanour grave, For wise and good stamp every supple knave ? Shall wretches, whom no real virtue warms, Gild fair their names and states with empty forms ; While Virtue seeks in vain the wish'd-for prize, Because, disdaining ill, she hates disguise ; Because she frankly pours fourth all her store, Seems what she is, and scorns to pass for more ?
