X1V PREFACE. 
Si fugis obscenas—penas—ternas baratorum 
uorum—pressure—dure—fuerunt mihi cure. 
2. In a variety of these, the versus immediati de- 
cessii, the end of one rhyming word formed another — 
word which rhymed of course with it. 
pos a bellorum lorum, vim confert amorum 
verorum, rorum tu plena polorum. 
3. In the repetorii every final syllable was the bee 
ginning. of the next word. 
Pravi vitentur turbamen mente tenentes. 
Jure retractentur turgescere repetentes. 
4. Versus capitati had the beginning of the fret 
line at the end of the second, by the figure epana- — 
lepsis. 
Fac Katerina pia, precibus pia corda juvari, 
Feedos purgari fac Katerina pia. 
In this measure is a hymn of Ccelius Sedulius of 
110 lines, one couplet is thus : 
Sola fuit mulier patuit qua Janua leto: 
Ex qua vita redit sola fuit mulier. 
5. The retrogradi reciproci repeated the 
words of a line at the end of it, with other repetitions: 
and transpositions.
