Alliterative verse - In Old High German and Old Saxon.
In Old High German and Old Saxon alliterative verse (e. g. Hildebrandslied and Heliand), phonetic and grammatical changes caused the inherited form of the line to be altered in a direction opposite to the Old Norse development. In verse in these languages, weak syllables tend to proliferate, to accommodate the mandatory articles and particles these languages used.

Alliterative verse - In Old High German and Old Saxon
In Old High German and Old Saxon alliterative verse (e. g. Hildebrandslied and Heliand), phonetic and grammatical changes caused the inherited form of the line to be altered in a direction opposite to the Old Norse development. In verse in these languages, weak syllables tend to proliferate, to accommodate the mandatory articles and particles these languages used. The famous lines 4 and 5 of the Hildebrandslied, where four or five weak syllables seem to be used as a poetic device (mind especially the last half-line!) show that:
Garutun se iro gûdhamun, gurtun sih iro suert ana,
helidos, ubar hringâ, dô sie tô dero hiltiu ritun.
(They) prepared / made ready (for them) their fighting outfits / garments / equipments, girded their swords on,
the heroes, over rings (of armour), as / when / before they to that fight rode.
Alliterative verse - Modern use
In modern times, alliterative verse has been used by Richard Wagner, for instance in his libretto for the opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen.
