The form of this chant is most peculiar. There are no verses or refrains, 

 unless the words which begin in the latter part of B" and continue to C may be 

 considered as a verse. The rest of the syllables are all burden syllables. Con- 

 sidering this fact, there is a remarkable uniformity throughout in the number of 

 beats in the measure, and the repetition of parts and their order. The song 

 begins on the first beat, on the third degree and ends on the same tqne.
