William Lockhart - Order of the Silver Brooch

Royals Matthew and Fiamuin 
Grace this hall under the bright sun
Rulers of this Eastern Land 
Reign forth with heart and hand 
At Mudthaw in Swamp of Settmour 
Looking for those with great ardour
Our creative William Lockhart 
Whose vibrant flair sets him apart
Of tincture he has quite the eye
Dabbles in bold paints, inks and dye
Makes goods glitter as is his want
And these talents We want to flaunt
With Silver Brooch given to him
Today, as is Our Royal Whim 
Anno Societatis Fifty Nine
On this day that’s joyous fine

The aweless lion could not wage the fight,
Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's BLOG.
He that perforce robs lions of their hearts
-Shakespeare 
The Life and Death of King John (written c. 1595, published 1623) — Spoken by "The Bastard," Philip Faulconbridge, Richard's illegitimate son
