Chapter XXX

., III.

[295] Text from Hauréau, _Les Mélanges poetiques d’Hildebert de Lavardin_, p. 60: also in _Notices des manuscrits de la bib. nat._ t. 28, 2nd part (1878), p. 331.

[296] Hauréau gives a critical text of the _Carmen ad Astralabium filium_, in _Notices et extraits, etc._, 34, part ii., p. 153 _sqq._ Other not unpleasing instances of elegiac verse are afforded by the poems of Baudri, Abbot of Bourgueil (d. 1130). They are occasional and fugitive pieces--_nugae_, if we will. See L. Delisle, _Romania_, i. 22-50.

[297] The substance of this poem has been given _ante_, Chapter XXIX . On Alanus see also _post_,
