Qǐngqiú can be subdidvided into
six parts of four lines each. These four-line parts form pairs from the
middle to the beginning and to the end, that is, the 1st and the 6th, the
2nd and the 5th and the 3rd and the 4th parts belong together. In Zhezhong
Yuyan the lines vary in length from 9 to 11 syllables.
A pattern of line-initial alliteration (some of it a repetition of whole
words) is maintained in all parts. Line-final rime or half-rime is only
consistently applied in the central (3rd and 4th) four-line parts. Note
that that the two syllables of the title itself also alliterate.

The transcription above is in Pinyin with tone marks (instead of numbers).
Pinyin is an algorithmic system in that the pronunciation can always be
derived from the spelling by applying certain rules.
Thus, the letter u is not pronounced as |U| but is identical to
ü after j, q, x and y.
Another example is the a, which is pronounced as |E| instead of
|AH| before a single n and after i, ü (or
u) and y.
The Pinyin phoneme shown at the beginning of each line is the line-initial
stave, if disregarding the |Q| of Qǐng in the first line of the
first and last four-line parts.
The repetition of sounds with tones or of groups of toneless sounds within
one four-line part or two adjacent parts is printed in boldface. These
repeated sounds are underlined if not toneless. The number at the end of
each line is the number of morphemes or 'syllables'.
