Hymns which have the final stanza proper, the Ave Maris stella, Lauds hymn of the Blessed Sacrament, Matins hymn for several Martyrs, the first Vesper hymn of the Office of Holy Cross, and the Vesper hymns of St. Venantius and St. John Cantius, never change the wording of the stanza. But, where the metre of the hymn admits such a change as possible in the last stanza.
'Why, perchance you may, replied the captain. 'And in truth you would be better cared for there. 'Help me, good Venantius! panted Basil, with eyes of entreaty. 'Let me die in the monastery. In those days of pestilence, every fever-stricken person was an object of dread to all but the most loving or the most courageous.
As early as 560 A. D., Venantius Fortunatus, Bishop of Poitiers, wrote to the Duke of Champagne: "Let the barbarians praise thee with the harp, Let the British crwth sing." This instrument, whose name signifies bulging box, was common in Britain, and was used in Wales until a comparatively recent period.
Basil, having no choice, then paid for ransom nearly all the money he had secreted, and rode away with Venantius, purposing to remain at Nuceria until joined by Marcian. Three days later Marcian appeared at the castle He brought no intelligence of the lost ladies.
