Demetrius of Brighton Manor - AoA

Great Northeastern War comes around again 

Magnus Tindal and Emerson True 

 The Monarchs over Malagentia put to pen 

Awards that are deserved and proper due

For East’s reputation is to accrue 

Worthy gentles from across Our kingdom

Now Demetrius afore us has come

Before Our court to hear described, his drive 

One who disports all past and present games 

Herding smalls, so that they might thrive

Recognition We cry! That Is Our aim 

Demetrius of Brighton Manor’s his name

Applied to the Award of Arms today

An accolade that We will never belay 

Anno Societatis 59
