Summary/Abstract: Polish singing for the Feast of Corpus Christi contained in the cantional of Jagodyński (edition 1638, 1695) count 13 works, including 7 which are translations of Latin poetry, formed most probably at the end of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; and 6 is the fruit of the work of contemporary poets and composers. The translations were modeled on the poetic structure of Latin texts, although not always fully; while the songs of Polish provenance were included by the authors in a way that fits in the general tendencies of the poetics structure of this period. We notice here mostly the songs with 4-verse stanzas and 7-, 6- and 2-verses. The stanzas binding factor is even rhyme, paroxytonic, perfect rhyme, and occasionally alternating rhyme.
