To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, note the elevated setting of the mother's prayer as contrasted with its content : luppiter, ingentis qui das adimisque dolores | . . . . Frigida si puerum quartana reliquerit, illo I mane die quo tu indicis ieiunia nudus | in Tiberi stabit. Sat. 2, 6, 65 : o noctes cenaeque deum. A playful reference to the frugal, but satisfying fare of his country home. Cf. Vs. 50 : frigidus a rostris manat per compita rumor ; vs. 86 f. , cupiens varia fastidia cena | vincere taugentis male singula dente sup...erbo. Sat. 1, 5, 102 f. , nee siquid miri faciat natura deos id | tristis ex alto caeli demittere tecto. Here immediately Horace ends the satire with the abrupt : Brundisium longae finis chartaeque viaequest. Sat. 1, 2, 119 : namque parabilem amo Venerem facilemque. Note the nasal assonance and fine caste of a line occurring in a passage which by reason of its coarseness generally goes without annotation. Sat. 2, 3, 87 : frumenti quantum metit Africa. Observe the poetic touch in personification and in the use of the verb meto in a transitive sense.
