Steadfast Gentles, dab your eyes of these blithe tears.
Know that Pennsic has come with these great Rulers
Murdoch! Rioghnach! Of the Sylvan Kingdom of AEthelmearc
Now, with great passion in Our hearts We proclaim
That the skilled countenance of Faye of Rockford,
Who's present enthusiasm’s worthy of celebration,
On these sun drenched fields We will now present her
Golden Alce for impressive engagement
In fencing terrains, and prowess with various steeled weapons
Anno Societatis LX
