Right, Michael, so next time you thank us for commenting, we will have the correct translation

Roger,

I really like your piece, except, isn't it the other way around, that it's the "pure iambic verse" which produces the sing-song effect - the "iambic stomp", which the anapests help dissipate?

This is fun - I will make a note book of all these translations from euphemism, and consult it while reading crits.
