Subject:  Re: [vocalist] In dulci jubilo - Latin translation

Naomi Gurt Lind wrote to check her translation of the Latin portions of this
carol. I don't have an answer about Naomi's translation, but another question
about the first two lines of the last verse (I cut for space all but the first
two lines of each of the three verses): Are "gaudia" and "there" supposed to
rhyme?

> O Jesu parvule --- o tiny Jesus
> For thee I long alway

> Ubi sunt gaudia --- where are there joys
> In any place but there?
