"i hate Gernot" i say, and then i trip and fall to the ground. dozens of photos spill from my pockets, all revealing Gernot. i panic. "this isn't what it looks like," i say, frantically scooping up all the pics. "these aren't mine i swear" more photos fall.

Salve sancta facies Nostri redemptoris, In qua nitet species Divini splendoris. Impressa panniculo Nivea candoris, Dataque Veronice Signum ob amoris. Salve, decus seculi, Speculum sanctorum, Quod videre cupiunt Spiritus celorum. Nos ab omni macula Purga vitiorum, Atque nos consortio Iunge beatorum. Salve nostra gratia In hac vita dura, Labili ac fragili Cito transitura. Nos provehat superis Felix hec figura, Ad videndum faciem Que est Christi pura. Esto nobis quesumus Verum adiuvandum, Dulce refrigerium Atque consolamen. Sic fruamur requie, Omnes dicant. Amen. This is not exactly the same text (minor alternations) but it reflects the meter, which is very whimsical @i-scan-your-poems

Scansion:

sálve sáncta fáciés nóstri rédemptóris, ín qua nítet spéciés divíni splendóris. impréssa pannículó níveá candóris, dátaqué Veroníce sígnum ób amóris.

Metrical form: The basic structure is one that a lot of medieval Latin songs have (or have variations on), which is rhyming couplets with:

/ u / u / u / / u / u / u

(The strong positions can be either primary or secondary stresses of the word.) Compare éstuáns intrínsecus / íra véheménti or the first parts of the stanzas in témpus tránsit gélidúm / múndus rénovátur, both from the carmina burana.

I notice that this writer accentuates some words differently than I/classical Latin would, which might be how they actually pronounce them or might be just metri causa. So Veronīcē and dīvīnus and impressa should all be accented on the penult, but this poem only scans if you accent them on the antepenult.
