l. (p. 73, l. 12) Que | la al|ma | no|che | o el | bri|llan|te | di|a. (p. 180, l. 20) ?Quien | cal|ma|ra, | iOh Es|pa|na! | tus | pe|sa|res? (p. 79, l. 7) And in all such expressions as: _o|cio|so e | i|rri|ta|do_, _Se|vi|lla | u O|vie|do_, etc. Except when a vowel is repeated: Si he es|cu|cha|do | cuan|do ha|bla|bas. (Calderon, _No hay burlas con el amor_, III) In modern Spanish, _h_, being silent, has no effect, but in older Spanish, _h_ for Latin _f_, being then pronounced, prevented synalepha, as in: Por | el | mes | e|ra | de | ma|yo cuan|do | ha|ce | la | ca|lor. (p. 7, l. 1-2) page lv Hiatus was common in Old Spanish, except when the first of two words was the definite article, a personal pronoun-object or the preposition _de_; or when the vowels were the same. (_b_) Hiatus is usual when the initial vowel of the second word has a strong accent (usually the rhythmic accent at the end of a line or phrase): Pues | en | fin | me | de|jo | una (Calderon). Ta|les | fue|ron | ya | es|tos | cual | her|mo|so (Herrera). Tal | de | lo | al|to | tem|pes|tad | des|he|cha (Maury). No hay | pla|ce|res | en | su | al | ma. (p. 85, l. 4) Cuan|do | po|bre | de | a|nos | y | pe|sa|res (p. 221, l. 9) Con|ti|go | se | fue | mi | hon|ra. (p. 103, l. 19) De | gra|na|das | es|pi|gas|; tu | la | u|va... (p. 215, l. 5) Por|que es | pa|ra el | ser | que | a|ma. (p. 84, l. 9) Muy | mas | her|mo|sa | la | ha|llan (p. 44, l. 5) El | ne|va|do | cue|llo | al|za (p. 43, l. 4) Por|que | tam|bien | e|ra| u|so. (p. 115, l. 9) Que en | la | bo|ca, y | so|lo | u|no. (p. 52, l. 26) Gen|te en | es|te | mon|te | an|da... Ya | que | de | tu | vis|ta | hu|ye. (Calderon) Gi|gan|te | o|la | que el | vien|to...[20] (p. 121, l. 23) [Footnote 20: Synalepha is usually to be avoided when it would bring together two stressed syllables as in _gigante ola, querido hijo_, etc.] page lvi But synalepha is possible (especially of _de o-_): To|do e|le|va|ba | mi a|ni|mo in|tran|qui|lo. (p. 139, l. 22) Yo | le | da|re|; mas | no en | el | ar|pa | de o|ro... (p. 49, l. 5) And synalepha is the rule, if stress on the initial syllable is weak: A o|tra per|so|na en | Ma|drid. (p. 36,
