Dear Satirists,
For Wednesday, April 1 (NO FOOLING!), please do the following.
(1) Read and translate
- Juvenal, Satire 1.45–86
(2) Download, print (if possible), and fill in scansion drill 5. Remember, we’ll now be marking
- long and short syllables
- foot divisions
- elisions
- the principal caesura in each line
- the bucolic diaeresis, where applicable
Given these trying times, you might have to get creative with your markings if you can’t print out the sheet. I believe in you. We’ll discuss the scansion in class, and then you can turn it in by email before Friday.
