THE PRAYER OF ST. PIRAN

Harr us, O Lord, and be debonair: for ours is a particular case. We are not like the men of St. Neot or the men of St. Udy, who are for ever importuning Thee upon the least occasion, praying at all hours and every day of the week. Thou knowest it is only with extreme cause that we bring ourselves to trouble Thee. Therefore regard our moderation in time past, and be instant to help us now. Amen.

I just saw this post on a harp email group I belong to - don't think he'll mind if I quote his message:

Happy St. Piran's Day to you all. For those of
you unfamiliar with this saint, he is the patron of
tin miners and the patron saint of Cornwall. For more
information see

http://www.st-piran.com/st-piran.htm

An appropriate way to celebrate would be

(1) to eat a Cornish Pasty

http://www.cornishpastyassociation.co.uk   or
http://www.cornishlight.co.uk/cornish-pasty.htm

(2) to look at Charles Winpenny's wonderful daily
photos of Cornwall

http://www.cornwallcam.co.uk

(3) to explore Cornish music at

www.an-daras.com

lots of Cornish tunes with midi files, etc.

(4) to play Cornish tunes on the harp.

'Dreckly' is a bit like 'manyana' but without the sense of urgency.
