Short Latin poem attributed to Crundmelus (Ir. Crundmáel), which is prefixed to a copy of his treatise on metrics. It runs In nomine Domini tempus certe croaxare / De metro, filioli, nunc nitimur narrare. / Adiuvent nos angeli / ac sanctorum agmina. / Facere ut possimus versu Christo carmina. / Cavete filioli, botrate Fulcharium / Necnon suum socium sic sane Sedulium.
