Text

PraiseShall be proffered, a potent liqourOf distilled deftness, and craft held dear.‘Tis a fleeting elixir, eager... and quickerThan flashing flame are her feats We now cheer.Such a sure spirit smoulders within herWhose honed constancy creates artistry clear,Built stoke by stoke -- here soar, here flicker --But always alive wherever it appear:Told through temperas, her tinctures delight;Broadcast by baking, of beauty and taste;Affirmed in felt, fine Phrygians upright!DeBurg the Bold, thy spark burning bright,We thee Coral convey, with consummate haste! Given by Anton, Rex and Luned, Regina this seventh day of May, Anno Societatis LVI at Highland River Melees in Our Barony of Highland Foorde.
