Listing how heroes prevail
How forged friendships made
By battle's sharp blade
But conduct’s reputation
Is not the whole notation
Now to expand on new exertions
That result in today's assertions.
Over fifty score counted therein
Forming a candid clamorous din
State said subject, Brick James Beech
Purpose of this pithy speech
That few have seen his service
his dogged preservice
Meticulous notations
Of His sum calculations,
To provide opportunities planned
Offering sanctuary and land
Acting without attribution
Always hunting for solutions
An Edifice after Our custom
Before Us now, as Our exemplum;
Therefore King Donovan stands
With Queen Megha in East’s lands
Regal Rulers stand forth proud
View the summoned, are thus wowed
And grant with honor and pride
Silver Crescent as defined
We see East’s splendour
Regard Brick a mirror
That reflects on Us
And the populace
