Analysis. — This song is an excellent example of the manner in which 

 ejaculations are interpolated into the Mide' songs. In portions 

 of the song the rhythm is rigidly maintained. For instance, in the 

 measures containing four quarter notes these notes are of exactly 

 the same length, and the difference between the 3-4 

 and 4-4 measures is unmistakable, but in the fifth and 

 sixth measures, where there is a repetition of the syl- 

 lables, the rhythm is irregular. 



The pulse of the drum is absolutely regular through- 

 out. The peculiar succession of measure lengths gives 

 an appearance of great rhythmic irregularity, yet the 

 metric unit of the quarter note is, with the exceptions mentioned, 

 quite regularly maintained.
