Recently I realized that hexameter can very easily be made to match a simple rhythm of four beats (that is, 4/4), spread over two musical measures (so 8 musical beats in total), as long as you make the pause of the caesura. I do this by making the feet before the caesura fit the musical rhythm perfectly (while completely ignoring natural Latin stress), while the right side of the caesura may or may not match the music, as long as the stressed ictus syllable of the 6th hexameter foot falls on the 7th musical beat.
I made this little bad recording to celebrate the Christmas that eastern Orthodox Christians celebrate today (January 7th, yes).

The poem is Prudentius'
Dittochaeon, lines 101-112 (caesurae indicated with double bars, ||):
Sancta Bethlem caput est orbis, || quae prōtulit Hīsum,
Orbis prīncipium, || caput ipsum prīncipiōrum.
Urbs hominem Chrīstum genuit, || quī Chrīstus agēbat
Ante deus quam sōl fieret, || quam lūcifer esset.
Hīc pretiōsa magī || sub virginis ūbere Chrīstō
Dōna ferunt puerō || myrraeque et tūris et aurī;
Mīrātur genetrīx || tot castī ventris honōrēs
Sēque deum genuisse‿hominem || rēgem quoque summum.
Pervigilēs pāstōrum‿oculōs || vīs lūminis implet
Angelicī nātum celebrāns || ex virgine Chrīstum.
Inveniunt tectum pannīs, || praesaepe jacentī
Cūna‿erat, exultant alacrēs, || et nūmen adōrant.
In this recording, "rēgem quoque summum" is the only part on the right of a caesura that ignores the musical beat (except for the stress on "summum"), though.
