accentuation of the rhythm is not very definite, the accentuation is perceived when the record is repeated at the normal speed.  If the record is repeated more slowly, and especially at such a distance that the rhyming consonants cannot be distinguished, then the accentuation seems to disappear.  It is probable that after a verse or stanza type has been established the voice may deviate from the type, and the accentuation will be supplied by the hearer.
