Ah, brings me back to the days of memorizing Bible verses word-for-word. I don’t remember any of them now. And I was such a good little student then too!
When my father was a kid they made him memorize the opening of the First Catilinarian. This was in Spanish. One time when he was particularly annoyed with me he was like: “When, Sergio, do you intend to stop testing my patience…?!”

Memorizing things word for word is the best way to make kids hate literature.
It’s probably a good or at least historically important work but you will forever hate it because of the way you were taught.
