With another order of rhymes these verses are also met with in tail-rhyme stanzas of different kinds, as, for instance, in Wright’s Spec. of L. P., p. 41:
Of a món mátheu þóhte,
þo hé þe wýnȝord wróhte;
and wrót hit ón ys bóc,
In márewe mén he sóhte,
at únder mó he bróhte,
and nóm, ant nón forsóc.
As a rule, the verses in such lyrical compositions intended to be sung are more regularly constructed than in those of narrative poetry, where the usual Germanic metrical licences occur more frequently.
