Ollam Lanea Inghean Uí ChiaragáinRoxbury MillAtlantiaLet me sing this song beautifully, to please my companions– Tireless Athena, daughter of Wisdom and Thunder, Bridler of Horses and Friend of Owls, Cast your Bright Eyes on this Son of Atlantia. Lord Glaukus the Athenian left your cityAnd came to us, where the shores are most pleasant, To grace us with his scholarship and wisdom, Honoring you above all Goddesses. Our fleet sailed swiftly to join us here And raise a feast, roasting fine bones to please you, And calling argent honors down on this, your follower. We name him a member of the Order of the PearlAnd grant him arms, he who bears your Owl on his Shield.Done at this Pennsic war, in foreign lands While Afshin King and Yasmin Queen Hold the Seafoam Thrones fast.
