Note that "insuper" would NOT rhyme with "mater"

Latin poetry doesn't use rhyme anyway. It uses meter.

That's true for classical Latin poetry, but medieval Latin hymns are often rhymed.

Classical Latin poetry doesn't, but this is supposed to be from the Middle Ages when it was used in most secular works as well as many divine hymns.
