The dramatic office here occupies the exact position in which 
we have already found the simple trope Quem queeritis in pree- 
sepe : immediately after the Te Deum at the end of Matins. 
In this case, however, the Te Deum seems to be repeated after 
the play. To the trope proper three speeches have been pre¬ 
fixed, and at the end the text itself of the trope has been modi- 
i Followed immediately by the rubric: Officium Stelle ita celebretur.
