Embroidery- Pastime with Good Company, Accredited to Henry VIII
Words for Amalie von Hohensee- Order of the Laurel

Pass the time with fine embroidery
My needle sews until I die
Grudge who will, but none deny,
The goldwork flows, continue will I.
For sustenance
tatt, lace, and dance.
The strings now I see:
All threads are drawn
From morn till dawn,
Who shall stop me?

Spangles add to a garment’s shine
The crafter’s heart and passion divine
Add brocade methinks it best,
to sew all night until I must rest.
Edges adorn
fine garments worn
Cunning work to see
‘Tis viewed by all,
Entranced enthralled,
A skilled crafter is she.

Amalie has a specialty
Opus angelicanum is key
with the fine and detailed decree
She brings even the most skilled to agree:
No idleness,
A new mistress
adorned shall she be.
The Consules say
to join today
and wear a Laurel’s leaves.

Sung Scroll for Amalie von Hoehensee

Service is what makes the wheels turn to the kingdom
Not just through lending a hand, but the soul you bare
Even though he is newer to us,
He is over koalafied

We are all richer for the service he gives
Though they say volunteering makes no cents

Some have even called Drustan a Saint,
which is questionable because the SCA is a non-prophet organization.
Through him, we can see the future

He has enriched our lives and filled it with collateral stories
He writes so much for the kingdom, he’s always cold.
he reviews his work so much he is surrounded by drafts.

When you need a face to serve as MC,
Drustan is like a pineapple, always doling out the charm.

Since Drustan has gifted us with service, We, the Counsels of the East Tindal and Albrecht do see fit to induct him into the Order of the Silver wheel.

Based off a 18th century drinking song

Cheers! For Black Finn, his master hand creates
The beverages fine and spirit elates
Up, lift now the sparkling gold cup to the lip, and drink!
And leave not a drop in the goblet fill’d to the brink.
Then let thy eyes bright wander around o’er the comrades
Gay and merry -I not despise them
Nay! lift up the sparkling goblet and join the sway.
Let them rejoice and be happy this festive day.
But, when thou hast drunk and eaten, no longer stay;
I’ll twine mine fingers round overflowing cup of white
O, come, thou wondrous blissbestowing longed for night!
Fine crafts and beverages do delight
The Counsels request you join their order of Maunche this night
Presented Anno Socitatis 55, July 17 is now by right

I remember yet the giant of Stonemarche,
Who gave us love in the days gone by;
Baronies I knew, the many in the Kingdom
With sharp wit and sharp blade. None to rival his
Of old was the age when Ronan lived;
Sea nor cool waves nor sand there were;
Earth had been born might from his hand
But a yawning gap and grass nowhere.
The Marshall grew a range for all
Ronan the mighty shared home wall to wall
The sun from the south warmed the stones of earth,
Teaching young and teaching old
Garbing the masses, showing all his warriors path
Knowledge he had knowledge he shared
The moon knew not what might was his,
The stars knew not where their stations were.
It is with utmost glee, you, Ronan O’Faelan, servant of the people and the kingdom, are to be inducted by our hands, King Ozurr and Queen Fortune to join the ranks of our Silver Mantle. We do this for you, this day The Great Northeastern War, AS LIII.

Auxilia commander, prowess formed
