Versification:
a8 a8 b8 c8 d4 d4 c8 c8 b8
(Frank 204:1 unicum); eight coblas unissonans. As Frank points
out (see his 202b), another way of representing the rhyme scheme would be a8
a8 b8 c8 d8 c8 c8 b8, in which case the fifth line would be a rim estramp
with an internal rhyme. In all but the second stanza, the poem seems to have
cuiar as a refrain word in the fifth line (or at the internal rhyme of
the fifth line, if the second scheme is adopted). There is an irregularity at
the rhyme in line 51 in the Mss..
Notes:
Base
of the text: K.
A diverges from IK on a number of details; it also has a number of errors and is lacunary. Only in line 64 does A seem to preserve a correct reading when IK are in
error, though IK are also in error in lines 28, 29 and 31, where A is missing. The Mss. are nonetheless relatively uniform and
some lines suggest a faulty archetype. Since I has a number of minor scribal errors, K is the
obvious base Ms. – Stanza order:

–
There is little sustained commentary on
this poem, perhaps because of its obscurity and abstraction, though critics often allude to the notion of two ways of
thinking, which derives from this poem.
