As an example,we may readthe openinglinesof a very famousmedievalhymn: hymnus medio aevocom

The themeof fie following four linesisvery difilbrent,but we note a verysimilarverse-form:

Lingua digna detruncari Lingua digna dc:

We cannot, it seems,conclusivelyidentify the author of either text. Both these Carmina cum haecduo
poemsand many otherscan be found in quite a number of bookswhich arestill in alia variis libris conrinc
