Veni creator, Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita, Imple superna gratia Quæ tu creasti pectora. Qui paracletus diceris, Donum Dei altissimi, Fons vivus, ignis, caritas Et spiritalis unctio.... AH 50: 193. This keeps generally the quantities of the metrical dimeter.[13] Rime is insistent in ruder hymns. The two following, Irish of the eighth century, though substantially correct as _metra_ in some stanzas, seem to be _rhythmi_. The first is alphabetical; the second, a _lorica_. As _rhythmi_ they are relieved by shift of stress in the places indicated, and probably intend it elsewhere; i.e., they are most satisfactorily read by word-accent. R. Assint nobis sublimia Sancti Petri suffragia. Audite, fratres, famina Petri pastoris plurima. Baptismatis libamina Fudit veluti flumina. Bís refúlsit ut fulmine Sacro sanctorum agmine; Fléntes dúxit ex ordine Gentes divino carmine.... AH 51: 347. O rex, O rector regminis, O cultor cæli carminis, O persecutor murmuris, O Deus alti agminis. Aido, mech Prich, benevola Posco puro precamina, Út refrígeret flumina Méi cápitis calida; Curet caput cum renibus Méis átque cum talibus, Cum oculis et genibus, Cum auribus et naribus, Cum ancylis euntibus, Cum fistulis sonantibus, Cum lingua atque dentibus, Cum lacrimarum fontibus. Sanctus Aid altus adiuvet, Meum caput ut liberet, Ut hoc totum perseveret Sánum, átque pervigilet. AH 51: 315. (2) Trochaic Rhythmical use of the _Corde natus_ measure[14] is suggested by frequent disregard of the distinction in the original meter between trochee and spondee within the line, and of the dactyl at the end.[15] The popular swing of this _rhythmus_ is felt in a well known hymn of the eighth century: Urbs beata Hierusalem, dicta pacis visio, Quæ construitur in cælis vivis ex lapidibus, Et angelis coornata ut sponsata comite! Nova veniens e cælo, nuptiali thalamo Præparata ut sponsata, copulatur Domino. Plateæ et muri eius ex auro purissimo; Portæ nitent margaritis, adytis patentibus Et virtute meritorum illuc introducitur Omnis qui pro Christi nomine hic in mundo premitur.... AH 51: 110.[16] Freer use, with both end-rime and occasional internal rime,[17] as in lines 3 and 5 above, appears in an Irish hymn ascribed to St. Cuchuimne. Cantemus in omni die concinnantes varie, Conclamantes Deo dignum hymnum sanctæ Mariæ. Bis per chorum, hinc et inde, collaudemus Mariam, Ut vox pulset omnem aurem per laudem vicariam. Maria de tribu Iuda, summi mater Domini, Opportunam dedit curam ægrotanti homini. Gabriel advexit verbum, sinu patris paterno Quod conceptum et susceptum in utero materno....
