In line 1 Martial puts the girl at both the beginning and end of the line. in between the girl he puts "Fronto father and mother Faccilla". He places this in a chiastic arrangement (a-b-b-a) which adds more emphasis.

What technique does Martial use in line 4 and why?
Martial uses pentametre in line 4. this could be trying to sound like a dog barking, as he is dicussing the "montrous mouths of the dog"
