Re: VIRGIL: macaronic verse

[Helen Conrad-O'Briain]

Off the top of my head it occurs in religious verse in the middle ages  
- some of the marian hymns are quite effective.

Pardon me for changing the subject being discussed, but would someone

me something about Macaronic Verse?  Is it always a "burlesque" form  
as the
dictionary implies, or is there a body of more serious work?
Are there, for example, macaronic heroic couplets?  A few inquiring  
minds
want to know. . .
Thank you   --  David

Thanks, Patrick. I didn't mean to dismiss Piper in my first set of  
remarks
-- his book is excellent. Looked at Brogan's bibliography last  
summer, but
will try again and see if there was anything I missed.
