What reading level is The Royal Legend a Tale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The cavalier's father, unconsci- ous of the deeds of his son, now urged his union with the daughter of a neighbouring potentate.
Dreadful, indeed, was his situ- ' -s-"' " ' V ' - ' ' ation : unused to deceit, he now H 5 154 found that he must dissemble, and even commit fresh offenses, to con- ceal from the world his ill-advised proceedings.
Thus does one false step produce another : and in committing a guilty deed, we step on a quicksand, which may give way, and overwhelm us beyond the possibil...ity of ever extri- cating ourselves.
In vain did the cavalier remon- strate against the orders of his father ; in vain did he declare, that, hav- ing never seen his intended bride, he could not love her: his remon- 155 strances were of no avail ; motives of state and interest rendered the union necessary. Though those in private life may consult their own in- clinations, yet those possessed of sovereignty cannot follow the wishes of their hearts : there is a haughty duty that subjects them to chains of state, to wed the public welfare, and not indulge their tender private vir- tues : and the unfortunate cavalier was, at length, obliged to consent to be united to the amiable Carlina.
