Note 366 — Chapter V · THE DIFFERENCING ELEMENTS OF COMMUNAL POETRY
Reading edition
“Balade” of the twelfth century: Bartsch, Chrestomathie Provençale, p. 107. Alavia = “away from us, begone,” the procul este profani of the dancers. See also G. Paris, Origines de la Poésie Lyrique, etc., a review of Jeanroy, Paris, 1892, pp. 12 ff. The rimes in -ar running through this stanza and the rest, and certain touches of art, show the changes in record; but the refrain and the spirit of the piece are quite communal.
