Councils of Conquest<br />

The hordes of Asia scorch green countryside<br />

Drouth every river dry they strive to ford<br />

As on the right a thousand galleys glide<br />

The fleeted shield of CHYREN’s wielded sword;<br />

Zingara drum<br />

Bending hypnotic beat<br />

Mesembryanthamum tarmpl’d beneath their feet<br />

Raypoz left Selin’s council‐tent<br />

By the banks of bonnie Tweed<br />

To meet a message typhoon sent<br />

By Massia’s secret steed,<br />

Reveals nefarius intent,<br />

“Conceal the vital deed<br />

& we shall be free to love forever<br />

My future prince, brave be in endeavour!”<br />

He watch’d black flames consume the scroll<br />

Then thrice his bugle blew,<br />

Toward their goal in martial crawl<br />

The flags of Asia flew,<br />

Like fields of golden daffodils sprinkl’d with sundawn dew.<br />

Berwick<br />

Gathering the Clans<br />

Lord Caledon surmounted Traprain Law<br />

To fill his maps with prospects spanning free<br />

This was a proper place to offer war<br />

Defending Edinburgh land & sea,<br />

On this old rock<br />

The Scottish clans descened<br />

To fighta ragnarok & all their flocks defend.<br />

They brought their saviour down from Fife<br />

Hoped her spirit would inspire<br />

Their sacred pride in land & life<br />

Soundly sung on shepherd’s lyre,<br />

A pride concealing sharpen’d knife,<br />

Drawn for their Saffia<br />

Now nestling in fair Whittinghame’s tower<br />

Her presence soldiers’ energies empower.<br />

Lord Caledon order’d his fleet<br />

To guard the Forth’s great gate<br />

Then captain’s meet in council heat<br />

To save their common state<br />

From many murd’rous minions advancing without abate.<br />

East Lothian
