This "Old Song" has none of the characteristics of a pisik. It has a definite 

 rhythmic pattern which is as follows: — 



nninnninnij j 



but even this is broken at times as in the A' phrase and in D and D'. The same 

 idea with slight variations is given three times but these do not appear to be 

 verses for the same words are used, although each section between the con- 

 nectives is divided into two parts. The play on octaves in the c and d measures 

 of the A phrases is interesting and has been resorted to in other songs, it will 

 be recalled. The tune begins on the tonic with the first beat of the measure 

 and ends on the fifth. It is not clear whether the song was intended to close at 

 the point at which it actually does end, but if the part were finished in accord- 

 ance with the two previous sections the fifth would be the final tone.
