“In Sanguine Ascendancy by Stewart Stafford
Courage is your meat and mead,
For fortune's fighter guaranteed,
Mighty grows the meekest seed,
Hear the charter is now decreed.
Use every instrument of state,
Crown, sceptre, orb and mace,
In virtuous nobility to legislate,
A legacy endowed to celebrate.
A childless king is a man of straw,
No heirs to follow, a dynasty raw,
Take fair hand with beauty awed,
Bloodline safe in a dragon's maw.
