I shall be his true servant only when I die out of sorrow for the master Shame torments me, for I am still breathing after his death It is justified if the grief of living such a life kills me.
Note:
This meter is complete and therefore does not require pauses. This is reflected in the recording, where no pauses follow the verses and the entire poem is read as a continuous stream of words. Because of this fact, in this and other recordings using complete meters no time measurement data are presented.
The high degree of popularity of this meter family may be due do the fact that non-anacrustic meters based on the metron HLHH also belong to the same meter family (although the readings based on HHLH usually prevails). The next recording shows a meter from the same family.
