Note that the melody moves from line one to line three. Lines two and four are the bass part.
The MIDI recording: In order to reconcile the number of beats between the bass and melody in m. 3 I slurred beats 7 and 8 in the melody and changed the 7th beat (C) of the bass part to whole note. This alteration also works well with the text.
