| Mar 28, 2022 at 20:47 | comment | added | bobsmith76 | I think Martia modifies 'labor', but if it modifies classica then I still can't understand the sentence. What the subject of the main clause? I think 'labor' what is its verb? I think 'terreat' what is the nominative subjective of the clause subordinated by 'quem'? I don't know. What is the verb of the clause subordinated by 'quem'? I don't know. What is the subject and verb of the clause subordinated by 'cui'? Probably 'classica' and 'fugent'. | |
| Mar 28, 2022 at 17:54 | comment | added | Vegawatcher | I don't quite understand the problem you are stating. There are two verbs and two parts to the verse. Why do you posit a third missing verb? Also, why move "Martia" to the fist part instead of leaving it in the second part to modify "classica"? Try analyzing the text in this order: "quem assiduus labor, vicino hoste, terreat; cui Martia classica pulsa somnos fugent." | |
