Stowe Missal
The Stowe Missal, which is, strictly speaking, a sacramentary rather than a missal, is an Irish illuminated manuscript written mainly in Latin with some Gaelic in the late eighth or early ninth century, probably after 792. In the mid-11th century it was annotated and some pages rewritten at Lorrha Monastery in County Tipperary, Ireland. Also known as the Lorrha Missal, it is known as the "Stowe" Missal as it once belonged to the Stowe manuscripts collection formed by George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, 1st Marquess of Buckingham at Stowe House. When the collection was bought by the nation in 1883, it and the other Irish manuscripts were handed over to the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin, where it remains, catalogued as MS D II 3. The cumdach or reliquary case which up to this point had survived together with the book was later transferred, with the rest of the Academy's collection of antiquities, to the National Museum of Ireland (museum number 1883, 614a). The old story was that the manuscript and shrine left Ireland after about 1375, as they were collected on the Continent in the 18th century, but this appears to be incorrect, and they were found inside a stone wall at Lackeen Castle near Lorrha in the 18th century.

Stay
by: MozellaIt's too late to start a fight
But you don't care, you're always right
And I know how this goes
You raise your voice and slam the door
You're telling me that you need more
While I try, while I cry
Before you take ?? away
I have got something to say
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay and watch my heart break?

I met you in 2005
When you were young and full of life
But you changed over night
You helped ??
You bought me things you can't afford
It was hot and it stoped
Before you take ?? away

Why don't you stay?
