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.

Ekatarena 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 helmit in his hand. Who begged the lady Lionsgate 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.
