hálde wé gódes láȝe. ib. 21.
Óf the próphéte | that hátte Séynt Iohán. Passion, 26.
Not unfrequently, also, this licence is caused by the rhyme, as in the following examples:
Myd Hárald Árfáger, | kýng of Nórthwéy: eye.
Rob. of Glouc. 22.
As wás king Róbert of Scótlánd: hand. Barbour, Bruce, 27.
And gúd Schyr Iámes of Dóuglás: was. ib. 29.
Súmwhat óf his clóþíng: king.
Rob. Mannyng, Handlyng Sinne, l. 5703.
The same manner of treatment may be found applied to words which end in -lyng, -esse, -nesse, and similar syllables, and which have a secondary accent on the last syllable and the chief accent on the preceding root-syllable.
