On the Bishop
Latin Grammar: Similes and Metaphors
Quarta est, quod licet habet manus et pedes, attamen cum digitis et manibus calcat lutum. Sic episcopus iste fatuus est quasi simia curiosus in mundi vanitate deformatus a laudabili operatione.
A simile is a comparison using a word meaning "like" or "as." A metaphor contains a comparison used directly, substituting one word for another, without using "like" or "as." The small passage above contains an obvious simile: ...quasi simia curiosus. The word quasi is the simile signal, for one would translate it "like a curious ape." Identify, in the sentences below, which lines are similies, and which are metaphors by placing an "S" or "M" on the line.
