, p. 386.
THE VARIOUS CLASSES OF LYRICAL POETRY 91 The reason for this is that any attempt to treat of sacred matters in poetry written in the vernacular was foredoomed to failure. The Church excluded the vulgar tongue from its Liturgy, and, moreover, contemporary society took but a languid interest in hymns to the Virgin, greatly preferring dainty love-songs and racy pastorals.
The sacred song struck a false note; not that the religious poetry of the middle ages was devoid of real beauty far f...rom it, indeed but it is to be found only in the Latin poetry of the twelfth and thirteenth cen- turies, which produced two great poets, Adam of Saint- Victor and Philip of Greve.
Religious poetry in the vernacular is handicapped from the start; not from lack of cultivation, for the number of sacred poems is very large, and though many are anonymous, many are the work of recognised trouveres and troubadours, but from a general top-heaviness of vexatious artificiality. I have laid stress on the need for Christian ideals to inspire courtly love with its noble and lofty qualities.
