Poem

Humans make dead earth live steel,Rigid beam to bending bow;Beasts we teach to heel and drive --We ourselves likewise may grow.
One among Our people shines,Armored sergeant, smith of plate;Proof improving skill and graceLifts mankind from common state.
Thus mac Alasdair do We,Adelhait and Christoph, King,Claim a Noble for our Court --Long may we his praises sing.

Arms awarded read as such:Vert, two poleaxe crossed argentChief three trefoil, green on white.This design none else may flaunt. Given to Martan mac Alasdair at Pennsic War Anno Societatis LIV.
