Zusammenfassung:It has never been noticed that the Old French song RS 845a Las ne [me] doi por ce desesperer , preserved by a single witness, is the anisosyllabic version of the isosyllabic RS 789 Meudre ocoison n’euç onques de chanter . Gianfranco Contini’s remark on Bonvesin da la Riva’s texts about the danger of trusting in metrical irregularities gathered by a codex unicus is renewed by this paper, as well as by analysing the song RS 836, anisosyllabic in Mölk and Wolfzettel’s metrical Répertoire .
