K ValravnRoxbury MillAtlantiaText
"As dancers glide and weave to pluckéd string,When skillful hands the notes obey,That self-same lute-loved hand makes darts take wingAlong a swift and narrow way.One archer stands and sets his gaze sereneNot just on his own target, but he’s beenA marshall, helping others play.
So moved are we, King Cuan, Signy QueenIn A.S. 54, upon eighteenOf January - this, the day,
That at our 12th Night Weinachtsmarkt, we bringyou a King’s Missillier. And yea - Of Daniel, man of Isenfir, we sing.Some arrows never go astray."

A GREAT thanks to Alias Ela (Lady Elenor de La Rochelle) for being a BnF wizard, and all around good friend. I would not have found this primary source without her.
