	Treasure of Hindu Classic Texts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		It is a collection of versified prayers or hymns, some of a magical or an allegorical character, others dealing with cosmogony.
		The Puranas or 'Antiquities' are versified texts, each of which is, as a general rule, devoted to a description of the characteristics and exploits of some great divinity and to a statement of the elements of his related cult and the pilgrimages which are associated with it.
		Versified works, of which quite a number are known today, the Tantras were compiled at about the sixth or the seventh century.

	[EMLS SI 7 (May, 2001): 7.1-21] John Donne's "Lamentations" and Christopher Fetherstone's Lamentations . . . in prose ...
		Who this versifier was Fetherstone does not reveal; his two subsequent references are simply to "my friend." His reticence in identifying this friend, coupled with his studied avoidance of gendered pronouns, suggests that the friend may have been a woman.
		If the author of the versified Lamentations presented by Fetherstone was a woman, there was a compelling reason for her to remain anonymous, as well as for Fetherstone to avoid gendered pronouns in referring to her.
		A second noteworthy aspect of this versification of Lamentations presented by Fetherstone, also left unsaid in the dedicatory epistle, is that this anonymous friend based her versification of Lamentations not on Tremellius, but on the Geneva translation of 1560.

	westword.com \| Music \| Smokey Robinson & the Miracles \| 2002-11-14
		"Versified cliche," of course, could be considered an apt description of pop music -- that is, until Smokey Robinson got his hands on it.
		The Miracles' music was a chiffon-laced confection of pop, gospel, doo-wop and R&B, all pomaded process hairdos and silky harmonies.
		In the sweeping, epic smash "More Love," Robinson sings in his licorice tenor, "My love would be so solid/It'd take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down, wear it down, tear it down." Kind of like Smokey's legend itself.

	DRAXTÈ AÚSUÚRÈG
		DRAXT È AÚSUÚRÈG (The Babylonian tree), a versified contest over precedence between a goat and a palm tree, composed in the Parthian language, written in Book Pahlavi script, and consisting of about 120 verses.
		Probably in ancient times the Iranians adopted this literary genre, which has the characteristics of oral literature from Mesopotamia; examples are found in Sumerian and Akkadian texts (Asmussen, 1973, pp.
		Both versions are versified contests over precedence and have the characteristics of oral literature, but neither is as eloquent or as high in literary quality as Draxt (^) a@su@r^g.

		La Fontaine translated and versified Boccaccio into French in 1665, a few years before publishing the first collection of fables was published.

		Short stories that were composed by outstanding figures in the field to clarify the complicated ethical themes will captivate the hearts as long as the Persian language continues to survive.

	Apology for the Book of Psalms.-Letter III.
		The whole book, thus versified, was in a few years published.
		It will be an alteration still more for the worse, if both these versions should be made to give place to another of later date, departing still farther from the strict letter of the text, and compensating its want of accuracy by nothing more than the meretricious ornaments of modern poetry."—Bp.
		The whole book of Psalms, however, was not put into measure before 1559; [c] from which period, a version, first published at Geneva, was authorized, till superseded by that still used in the Church of Scotland.

	Geoffrey Chew, Music Department, Royal Holloway, University of London (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the latter opera, based on Gabriela Preissov·'s drama JejÌ pastorkyna, Jan·chek had set the prose of the play directly rather than using a traditional versified libretto, with the vocal lines often modelled directly on speech, in order to achieve an immediacy of "realistic" effect.
		There was no literary model, and so he arranged for a librettist, Fedora Bartoshov·, to prepare a versified libretto on the basis of a prose scenario which he had written himself, evidently encouraging her to make use of "poetic" language.
		He then set this verse libretto to music--but adapting and "exploding" it, making of it highly stylized prose that slides into and out of metrical verse, and heightening its allusive, dreamlike qualities by disrupting its rational logic and rearranging and subverting the images.

	THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM IN 8,000 LINES
		There were 32 versified Chapters in the same book, which I have Re-Vised as well, but chose to not include them here along with this prosaical rendering, solely in the interests of clarity and what's hoped to be an easing of understanding.
		The several verse references [numbers in squared brackets] are consistent with the mentioned versified version, and some works by other authors as well.
		So now the thought occurs to Sakra, Chief of Gods: Profoundly wise, surely, is the Holy Subhuti, as he explains this merely nominal existence [of all separate things], and yet even so does not bring it into conflict with any norm of truth, but enlarges on such and quite simply expounds it.

		Recommended from the pulpit of a Southwark church, illustrated in the pavilions of Vauxhall Gardens, exhibited in ‘a curious Piece of Waxwork’ on a Fleet Street corner, Pamela was everywhere.
		Parodied and pirated, puffed and censured, versified and dramatized, and appropriated in several spurious continuations as well as Richardson’s own authorized sequel, it now makes visible, like nothing else, the heterogeneity, vigour and turmoil of its cultural moment.
		As has long been recognised, it also marks a defining moment in the history and formation of the novel as a literary genre.

	Popular Tales of the West Highlands Vol. IV: I. Ossian.: Popular Ballads
		There are sixty-eight stanzas (generally of four lines) in the version in Percy's Reliques, the story is simply told, and the whole is exceedingly dramatic, there is not a bit of sentiment or natural history in it, but there is something which has made it popular for centuries.
		The battle of Otterbourne is another example, it has seventy stanzas of four lines, it is like the other, and it has a foundation in fact, so that it cannot be older than a certain date.
		The story is the same as that of "The Sleeper awakened," told in the Arabian Nights, but the whole machinery of the English ballad is English, not Arabic.

		The SSS Newsletter carried an incomplete, rather rough version in the summer of 1986 (pp.17-21) under the heading ‘Author Unknown’, with a parallel transcription into an early form of Cut Spelling.
		It is not surprising, in view of the numerous editions and the poem’s steady expansion, that so many different versions have been in circulation in so many different countries.
		Who the ‘dearest creature in creation’ addressed in the first line, also addressed as ‘Susy’ in line 5, might have been is unknown, though a mimeographed version of the poem in Harry Cohen’s possession is dedicated to ‘Miss Susanne Delacruix, Paris’.

		Bede tells us that the Germanic settlers came from Anglian and Saxon regions of continental Europe, within the modern territories of Holland, Southern Denmark, and Western Germany.
		The settlers brought with them, in their heads, an extensive body of lore encoded in alliterative verse, including versified laws as well as historical and legendary narratives.
		Some of the settlers could use a runic alphabet to carve brief messages, mostly on wooden sticks, but writing was not used for Old English historical or literary material until the conversion to Christianity, when manuscript technology entered from Rome and Ireland.
