‘he insisted upon adding another octrain to the hymn’
‘The 16th Century Italian Mystery Play is an anonymous work, entitled Santa Uliva, whose octrains are said to preserve the ingenuous flavor of the popular poetry of the 15th century.’
‘He had Gustave Ferrari in the role of Villon sing the first line of the octrain without echo.’
‘The octrain concludes by saying that real comfort and joy come from obeying the Word.’
‘Next follows an octrain in which the authoress challenges the carping critic to show better work than hers.’
‘It will be seen that each consists of forty lines, or five octrains.’
