Thus the change of the basic metre decisively alters the numerical content of the beat, but the minimal ...
The 13-syllable meter of the Persian ruba'i (quatrain) is also traditionally analysed as if it was a variety of the hazaj meter, [19] but in reality it is quite different, and evidently has no connection with the meter described above.
