Opinions on: line as a functional unit

[Kaybo]

With lines as functional units, it occurred to me that it could be some kind of verse form (e.g., hexameter?). Ovid's Metamorphoses, for example, was very widespread and popular in the (late) Middle Ages. Perhaps the author of the VMS wanted to replicate the structure of these verses.

Interestingly there are some letters at the side of an old Ovid's Metamorphoses text.
