The form might matter for the Song case, because that could be said to
define a song by example, instead of specifying explicit criteria. 
Changing the scansion would allow a wide licence for future songs, in
addition to the rather generous rhyming.

As the epitaph had it:
Here lies the preacher, judge, and poet Peter
Who broke the laws of God, and man, and metre

Sagitta (buzz-free for 0 ndays)
