To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am very slow to doubt when so great an authority says there exists no sufficient reason for doubting, but I am compelled to say that I know of no sufficient proof that King Robert was really the author of it. I should be quite ready to believe that he had set it to music, if I were convinced that so beau- VENI, SANCTE SPIRITUS. 85 tiful a specimen of rhymed accented Latin verse had been written before his day. In the authority quoted on page 75, the prose written by him is said to be the Sunc...ti Spiritus adsit nobis gratia, which is now usually attrib- uted to Notker, the first writer of proses. I borrow from the "Seven great hymns" an extract from the Chronicle of St. Bertin: "Robert e"tait tres pieux, prudent, lettre 1 et suffisamment philosophe, mais surtout excellent musi- cien. II composa la prose du St. Esprit, qui commence par ces mots, Adsit nobis gratia, les rhythmes Judce et Hierusalem, et Cornelius Centurio, qu'il offrit a Rome sur 1'autel de St. Pierre, note" avec le chant qui leur e"tait propre, de meme que 1'anti phone Eripe et plusieurs autreg beaux morceaux.
