 |  |  |  | the line: qui illius culpa cecidit velut prati
 it's sapphic strophe, and it's got one too many vowels, I think.  is it hypermetric or am I doing something wrong?  thank you so much!

 |  |  |  | That's a verbal synaphia, that is prat(i) elides with the following. |  |  |

 |  |  |  | Which is cool, because the last syllable gets "cut off" as the flower is cut by the passing plow. . . |  |  |
