First sentence: It is not my intention to dwell on the hymn writers of this period, as S. Gregory Nazianzen and S. Sophronius, because their works have not been employed in the Divine office, are merely an imitation of classical writers, and, however occasionally pretty, are not the stuff out of which Church song is made.
