NB: The clapping pattern is just for practice! I find it impossible to learn to hear the specific syncopations built into this and many other lyric meters without using evenly spaced beats (clapping, metronome) to make sure I'm not defaulting to Englishly audible markers of metrical stress (pitch, loudness) in place of Latin's reliance on long and short syllables--one beat ("mora") for short, two for long.
