Final answer:
The question seems to confuse musical terms 'syllabic' and 'melismatic' with the editing and poetic techniques found in Phillis Wheatley's poems. These terms refer to musical note patterns, not typically applied to textual edits or poetry itself. Without musical scores or reference to specific musical settings, determining syllabic and melismatic settings from poetry excerpts is not feasible.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about musical settings in poetry, particularly the syllabic and melismatic elements. A syllabic setting is when each syllable of a text is matched to a single note, commonly found in many traditional songs and hymns. A melismatic setting, however, is where one syllable is stretched over several notes, which can be heard in genres like gospel or opera. The excerpts presented seem to be focused on Phillis Wheatley's poems and their manuscript variations, which feature editorial marks such as italics and capitalization to emphasize particular words.
While these poetics are apparent within the text, the question is perhaps incorrectly presented, as 'syllabic' and 'melismatic' are terms more commonly used in music rather than poetry. However, the question's connection to musicality in poetry can be addressed through the concepts of rhythm, rhyme, and meter present in Wheatley's work, which mimic musicality and is often a way poetry is differentiated from prose. Nonetheless, without a specific musical setting provided in the excerpts given, identifying syllabic and melismatic settings solely from a poetic standpoint is not possible.
