SEAGIRTS HEART
- In every group you meet
- There are those that you will find.
- That exemplify the strengths
- Of body soul and mind.
- There are those that are the brains
- And those that are the brawn.
- Some who hold the history
- Of where we’ve been and gone.
- But now I’ll tell a tale,
- Of those at Seagirts heart.
- A tale of Seagirts sargentry
- And whence it all did start.
- So when you list the sergeants
- You’d better get them right
- Cause if you mix them up,
- It’s them you’ll have to fight.
- Ekatarina Borisovna
- Was first to bend a knee
- To swear her oath to Seagirt
- And start our sargentry.
- The next our proud lord Robbins
- Allan be first his name.
- Showed all just what he’s made of
- And to our sargentry he came.
- Lord Nikalai Toronovich
- Had skills for all he showed.
- That proved to all that saw him
- To a sergeants rank he’s flown.
- Next came master James
- With helmet in his hand.
- Who begged the lady Lions Gate
- To free him to our land.
- Lord Seth Starr came striding.
- He worked hard to earn his fate,
- To stand for Lady Seagirt
- This oath he’d gladly take.
- A lady of great strength
- Was sixth to bend a knee
- And join the rank of sergeant
- The Lady Myrranda Di mici
- Owen Hallehyne
- A griffin standing proud.
- He swears his oath of sargentry
- And it’s Seagirt to whom he’s bound.
- The Honorable Lord Duncan MacQuarrie
- Showed skill and wisdom both
- And earned his title soundly
- And proudly swore his oath.
- Know this to all that heed me.
- Of these we all have pride.
- We know how hard it is they’ve worked
- To show what they’ve inside.
- To those that I have listed.
- You’ve set yourselves apart.
- Your skill and wisdom guides us
- To what you have in heart.
- As sargentry you’ll show us.
- To what we should aspire,
- And by leading us who follow.
- We know you’ll bring us higher.
- And to those who now would try
- To gain our sargentry.
- I hope you now have glimpsed.
- Just how good you need to be.
- It’s not for every warrior
- To earn this title proud.
- Cause not just any one
- Can teach a rabble crowd
- Not just any man
- Can show the skill at arms,
- And still have all the gentle arts
- To show his Witt and charms.
- Yet if you think you have it
- That which set these gents apart
- The Seagirt trials await you
- IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE HEART.
