The Satires of Juvenal, Persius, Sulpicia, and Lucilius

Note 1997 — BOOK XXX.

Lewis Evans translation

Consternere is applied "to preparing a couch." Cf. Catul., lxiv., 163, "Purpureâve tuum consternens veste cubile." This seems to be the meaning here; as there seems to be a vibration of the reading between consternitur, nobis lectus, and vetus, for Restes. Cf. ad lib. vi., Fr. 13.
