Note to Anon (FoGT) 46III

[All]: The first two lines of this stanza are close to the first two questions of the example of teretema given in a commentary to the Graecismus cited by Björn Magnússon Ólsen (FoGT 1884, 151 n.): Quis moritur? praesul. Cur? pro grege ‘Who dies? The bishop. Why? For the flock’. These lines come from a poem on the murder of Thomas Becket.
