Meara MacNeil - Court Barony

Let it be known that, We, Matthew and Fiamuin, Majesties of this Eastern Realm, by right of Arms in this office, in Our Barony of the Bridge, have this to say: 

Where therein the Black Rose Ball is held

When there are no leaves, and the winds do blow 

As dancers twirl with elegance beheld 

Carefree in the hall’s comfort and free of snow 

Here therein, a solid story forthwith 

Of one when called, dropped all to lend their aid

Haring through the days for kingdom and kith 

Showing how they enjoyed this roll they've played  

For their staunch persistence on every task 

Their joy when enacting this vocation 

Favored such acclaims so now they can bask 

In clear light of deserved recognition

This day's praises sung to the assembled throng 

As described forth, they're set to go on strong

And such by Our  will, We declare for Meara MacNeil this Barony of the Court is theirs, 

With these arms 

-SPACE FOR ARMS-

Let it be known that, We, Matthew and Fiamuin, Majesties of this Eastern Realm, by right of Arms in this office today, in Our Barony of the Bridge, have this to say: 

Where therein the Black Rose Ball is held

When there are no leaves, and the winds do blow 

As dancers twirl with elegance beheld

Carefree in the hall’s comfort and free of snow 

Here therein, a solid story forthwith 

Of one when called, dropped all to lend their aid

Haring through the days for kingdom and kith 

Showing how they injured this roll they've played  

 

For their staunch persistence on every task 

Joy when enacting their volition

Favored such acclaims so now they can bask 

In clear light of deserved recognition

These praises sung to the assembled throng 

As described forth, they're set to go forth strong

And such by Our  will, Meara MacNeil now named Thane 

With arms 

SPACE FOR ARMS 

Stands, in strength before you 

My hunger for her explains everything I've done

To howl at the moon the whole night through

And they really don't care if I BLOG
