Assignment for Monday, 02-22-16

Dear Satirists,

For Monday, February 22, 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 3. We'll spend a few minutes discussing any trouble spots, and then I'll collect your sheets.
