In Praise of the Queen's Spears
You showed in war, thrice answering the call.
Then, shedding armor, rushed to do your part
Within the rapier lists. You did not fall
Or fail despite the heat and pain. At start
Of every battle you were a wild hart,
Swift charging with your horns of white and blue.
And showing all your mettle, brave and true.
Though each of you his own arms proudly bore,
Padraigin’s banner hung from every spear.
You stood united, brothers to the core,
A rushing tide that filled your foes with fear,
Three weary battles fought, then tired and sore,
You kept your vow and raced to one more fight
For glory of the Queen and honor bright.
You took good blows, and thus avoided shame.
You fought for love and glory of the crown.
Oh brave Queen’s Spears, when duty called you came
And won Padraigin honor and renown.
Atlantians attend! Hear now each name
And let vivats and joyous cheers resound:
Baron Alejandro Mateo Ramirez y Mendoza, Preboste, Captain
Jean Claude de Calais
Gerald of Tir-Y-Don
Baron Lloyd
Lord Gorm of Berra
Alexander Blood
Kynnyth Pyke
Fredrick Von Heinrich
Melchior Zum Gravem wolf
Nickolai Demitri Zhadanov Dolgurukova
Master Roland de Monteney
Alric the Mad
Stephen Bridewell
So let us ever praise and hold them dear
Who fought this day at Pennsic as Queen’s Spears.
