The song is here interrupted by talking although the final measure is cut 

 only one beat. 



In this form we are reminded of the pisik with prelude from which the 

 verse section obtains the melodic material, but in this case it is the second and 

 third phrases which are derived from the first part, which would correspond to 

 the last phrase of the verse and the first phrase of the refrain. There are a 

 number of minor deviations in rhythm which mar the absolute regularity. 

 It is a most interesting specimen for comparison with the preceding, for that is 

 the same song sung by the same person at another time, and is proof of how 

 great the variation can be, both in melody and metre, even with a single singer. 

 The first version was given only in fragmentary form as a comparison will at 

 once reveal. As given here the song begins on the first beat of the measure on 

 the fifth degree of the minor scale and ends on the same tone which is the general 

 level.
