The structure of the song consists of a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode. The strophe and the antistrophe are each composed of two distichs, where the first verse is made of two anapaestic feet (two short and one long syllable) followed by an Ionic ā minōre (two short and two long syllables) and the second verse is made of three anapaestic feet - so it's basically the same metre of the first one, in a catalectic form. The rhyme scheme for each of them is ABAB. • This is also the scheme of the recitative strophe of the introduction. The epode is composed of three strophes: • 1) a distich identical to the preceding ones, with rhyme scheme AB, • 2) a strophe made of four verses consisting of an anapaestic foot followed by an Ionic ā minōre, with rhyme scheme AABB, • 3) a strophe made of five verses, the first two with the same metre as the preceding strophe, the second two with the same metre as the even verses of the distichs of the strophe and antistrophe, and the last consisting of a unique anapaest, with rhyme scheme AABCC. This structure is repeated twice, the two iterations being separated by a recitative prosastic part. In the original English version, the structure is the same but with amphibrachys (a foot less popular in Latin) instead of anapaests (except for the distich in the epode, which has anapaests and Ionics as well). • Scar's Latin is of an educated, archaizing type echoing the register of the original English. Traits of this register are: the fall of final /s/ after short vowels before words with consonantal onset ( hebentibu' - a popular trait, hence shared by hyaenas' optimu' ), obsolete nominal and verbal inflected forms ( fameī , faxō ), elevated Hellenisms ( dogmata , logos - in contrast with hyaenas' more trivial Hellenisms euge , sophōs ). • As an anti-Augustan, Scar also wants to appear as an optimus princeps (a term typical of the Augustan propaganda) and cites in the distichs of the epode the most important Author of that propaganda, Vergil, in particular the most propagandistic piece, Eclogae IV ( redeunt Sāturnia rēgna / (oritur)(et) nova prōgeniēs , vv. 6-7; aderit jam tempus(:) honōr(um)(ēs) , v. 48, as well as bona turba, favēte mihī , where favēte echoes casta favē, Lūcīna , v. 10). Duce mē/tē itself echoes tē duce of v. 13. Per tempora dūrō echoes Catullus' obstinātā mente perfer, obdūrā (8,10). • However, Scar's deepest nature is Epicurean. Hence, his true favorite poet is not Vergil, whom he uses only for political purposes, but Lucretius, as it's clear from his use of some of this poet's favorite terms, like retinentia , and the S decidua itself. • _____ • Merch: • https://teespring.com/stores/scorpiom...
