Caesural spaces = durations of silence and/or prolongations
of final phonemes or syllables:
4 letter spaces [      ] = 1 unaccented syllable;
8 letter spaces [            ] = 1 accented syllable or beat;
12 letter spaces [                  ] = 1 accented and 1 unaccented syllable
or 1 1/2 beats; none occurs between typographical lines;
breath pauses at verse-line endings ad lib.

Nonorthographic acute accents indicate stresses, not vowel qualities.
Each hyphenated compound is read as one extended word: somewhat
more rapidly than other words but not hurried. Spaced hyphens [ - ]
indicates slowed-down compounds (each member, one beat).
[ë] indicates a voiced final "e". Indented typographical lines
continue verse lines begun above them.
