Hello,
I have a doubt regarding this fragment, Horace (Odes I,1):
..nunc viridi membra sub arbuto
stratus, nunc ad aquae lene caput sacrae..
(roughly: “..now with limbs stretched under a green bush, now by the mellow source of sacred waters..”)
I don’t see how ‘membra’ works grammatically with ‘stratus’.
Thanks in advance for any comment.
