 whose lover was dead. 



Armlysis. — This song contains 29 measures and comprises five 

 periods of irregular lengths. The rhythmic unit occurs only three 

 tunes, but it is interesting to observe that the rhythm of thq inter- 

 vening parts of the song resembles the rhythm of this unit. For 

 instance, in the phrase which includes measures 6 to 13 we note that 

 the opening and the close of the phrase correspond to the beginning 

 and the end of the unit, respectively, but the phrase contains eight 

 measures while the unit contains only five. (See Nos. 90, 94, 96, 103, 

 109, 115, 123.) Two consecutive syllables of the third word are 

 equally accented.
