first two stanzas are about uniform: the A refrain, identical in both stanzas, 
introduces the burden of the verse; the last word in each stanza is closed, 
as it were, by a fragment of the A refrain, and then follow in conclusion 
the refrains B and C. In the third and fourth stanzas new forms of refrain 
appear. Instead of the introductory A refrain, the D refrain prefaces the third 
verse, the burden of which then follows. The words are about the same as 
in the two previous stanzas placed in reverse order. After the words in the 
fourth stanza follows the B refrain, and then in conclusion a new forma- 
tion which is a combination of the A and D refrains. The contents of the 
dictated text agree only in part with the words I can catch in the phono- 
graph record.
