Before proceeding further, hear these words: The kingdom sings the praise of flowing quills That smoothly flourishing, depict th’ interred, Find in darkness and death delightful thrills. Though dressed in fluffy plumes and gentle frills No contradictions found in her bright cheer; ‘Tis black and white, the extent of her skill, With swooping ornaments rightly revered. Esperanza Susanna Flecha’s worth is clear. The beauty of her art cannot be writ With tines and tips in minims fat and leatn. Suitable rhymes and swirling strokes must flit With brushstrokes painting proper peerage scene. The will of Eckehard, King, and Jane our Queen, Marked in pen and ink with gentility, Is ornamenting her with leaves of green, Gilding her with fame by royal decree. All shall know that Esperanza a Laurel be! Done by Our Hand on November 20th, A.S. LVI, at Holiday Faire in Our beloved Barony of Stierbach.Ealawynn Mæru (Alias Ela)Roxbury MillAtlantia
