| | | Why is the u short? Shouldn't it be long, coming before 2 consonants? | |

| | | I don't know why they put it short, but my teacher said that syllables at the end of a line can just be taken as long so that is how I am reading all of these lines so that it matches with hendecasyllic verse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendecasyllabic_verse | |

| | | two subsequent consonants make U long. Long by placement, not nature. If someone scans that as short it still reads like a valid line of hendecasyllabics, but that scansion would still be incorrect. | |
