Assignment for Wednesday, 02.26.20
Dear Satirists,
For Wednesday, February 26, please do the following.
(1) Read and translate the following:
- Horace, Satires 1.6.45–88.
From Satire 5, we transition to Satire 6, the most personal and autobiographical of Horace’s satires. Since we’re plunging in medias res, you might find it helpful to read the beginning of the poem in English.
(2) Download, print, and fill in scansion drill 4. Since this is the first assignment that asks you to mark principal caesurae, we’ll spend a few minutes discussing any trouble spots before l collect your sheets.
