The Squires Three Are Knighted!

Gobrwy the Bard sings:

I sing a tale of fresh new youth,
with brazen airs and short-in-tooth,
a baudy group of squires three,
in the deep green woods of Salisbury.

They hunt a beast with terrible claw,
black as night and fierce of jaw,
with rows of teeth like daggers be,
in the deep green woods of Salisbury.

For days and nights the companions ride,
sniffing at spoor and bits of hide,
they close in on the beast and strike with glee,
in the deep green woods of Salisbury.

With might of arm Squire Llyr did slash,
and killed the beast with bloodied gash,
and hung its hide from a drying tree
in the deep green woods of Salisbury.

The Squires Three to their master returned,
and all at Court their adventures learned.
Maidens and damosels swooned to see,
the brave Young Squires of Salisbury.

At Winter Court in Sarum's Hall,
Our most gracious, most generous Earl did call
for the knighting of the Squires Three,
who killed the Beast of Salisbury.

They stayed awake in solemn prayer,
at vigil on the church's stair,
In Jesu's name it came to be,
each Made the Leap in Salisbury!
