The nature of this verse as the fourth in a kind of four-verse verse-set is discussed in 234,8 . In this verse too, the same awkward intransitive verb structure occurs; for discussion see 234,11 . And this verse too, like {234,11}, cannot stand alone, but must be read as part of some kind of verse-set. Be honest, dear reader-- aren't you relieved that this little praise-excursion is now finally over? graphics/stars.jpg
