Come near me, while I chant the ancient lays:Atlantians battling above the bitter waves;One Crowned, resplendent, strides on laughing-eyed,And casts down enemy to fall beneath the tide;But to our people comes peace and wealth untoldAs he graces ridge to shore with pearls and gold.  Now name him Count Eckehard, the sword’s keen bladeAnd recall his deeds in Atlantia’s book of days. 
So say we, Cuan Rex and Adelhait Regina, this second day of April, Anno Societatis LVI at Our Coronation.
