Fragment of a Rhymed Office
This brief text is apparently a fragment, possibly the final stanza, of an otherwise lost rhymed office for the feast of St. Richard Scrope. It was copied into a collection of similar prayers and offices at the Charterhouse of St. Barbara in Cologne sometime in the fifteenth century.
