2. Prosody<br />
1: Introduction<br />
As this <strong>book</strong> is meant to be a practical manual primarily intended for those who wish to<br />
recite the discourses found herein - or to follow such a recital - every effort has been made<br />
to present the text as clearly as possible. In the prose sections sentences have been divided<br />
according to sense; repetitions and variations have been made clear by the layout; lists have<br />
been presented as such, and so on. In the verse sections, all the metres have been presented in<br />
such a way that anyone who knows the key to the presentation should be able to identify the<br />
metre at a glance.<br />
