Setting of a tragic speech in iambic trimeters, mostly following the word accents, though they are spectacularly flouted in ephobethesan * (if the note is rightly read). The tonal centre is here e. The compass is the same as in 30, and the musical style is similar; besides general characteristics of the florid manner, and the moderate use of wide intervals, note the exharmonic 0314-001.gif at Achill-. A vowel that by rights is elided is given its own short note at de homou (cf. on 29), but hot in other instances.
The notation is Lydian, with the sign for 0314-002.gif borrowed from Hypolydian.
