Pardon me for changing the subject being discussed, but would someone tell me something about Macaronic Verse? Is it always a "burlesque" form as the dictionary implies, or is there a body of more serious work? Are there, for example, macaronic heroic couplets? A few inquiring minds want to know. . . Thank you -- David
