Poem of the Day: ALDHELM.CarmVirg

Metrica tirones nunc promant carmina castoS
Et laudem capiat quadrato cardine uirgO.
Trinus in arce Deus, qui pollens saecla creauiT,
Regnator mundi regnans in sedibus altiS
Indigno conferre mihi dignetur in aethrA
Cum sanctis requiem, quos laudo uersibus istiC.
Arbiter altithronus, qui seruat sceptra supernA,
Tradidit his caeli per sudum scandere limeN
Inter sanctorum cuneos, qui laude perennI
Rite glorificant moderantem regna TonanteM
...
