pfS11-15. Words of Wisdom
I learned this 5-part round from my favorite nephew, Roger Diggle. It
may have lost something in translation, but I love it anyway. Love it
so much that I have added numerous 'verses'. I call them all 'words of
wisdom' because even Nero has a lesson to teach: in weakness
there can also be much strength.
[With so many 'silent beats',
it's hard to learn from just the text. I've tried to show the main
beats in bold, but working them out from this sample is probably best.]

of the 'wisdom' they contain.]
