And in all such expressions as: _o|cio|so e |
i|rri|ta|do_, _Se|vi|lla | u O|vie|do_, etc.
Except when a vowel is repeated:
Si he es|cu|cha|do | cuan|do ha|bla|bas.
(Calderon, _No hay burlas con el amor_, III)
In modern Spanish, _h_, being silent, has no effect,
but in older Spanish, _h_ for Latin _f_, being then
pronounced, prevented synalepha, as in:
Por | el | mes | e|ra | de | ma|yo
cuan|do | ha|ce | la | ca|lor.
(p. 7, l. 1-2)

Hiatus was common in Old Spanish, except when the first
of two words was the definite article, a personal
pronoun-object or the preposition _de_; or when the vowels
were the same.
(_b_) Hiatus is usual when the initial vowel of the second
word has a strong accent (usually the rhythmic accent at
the end of a line or phrase):
Pues | en | fin | me | de|jo | una (Calderon).
Ta|les | fue|ron | ya | es|tos | cual | her|mo|so (Herrera).
Tal | de | lo | al|to | tem|pes|tad | des|he|cha (Maury).
No hay | pla|ce|res | en | su | al | ma.

(Calderon)
Gi|gan|te | o|la | que el | vien|to...[20]
(p. 121, l. 23)
[Footnote 20: Synalepha is usually to be avoided when it
would bring together two stressed syllables as in _gigante
ola, querido hijo_, etc.]

But synalepha is possible (especially of _de o-_):
To|do e|le|va|ba | mi a|ni|mo in|tran|qui|lo.
(p. 139, l. 22)
Yo | le | da|re|; mas | no en | el | ar|pa | de o|ro...
(p. 49, l. 5)
And synalepha is the rule, if stress on the initial
syllable is weak:
A o|tra per|so|na en | Ma|drid.
