Sir Andrew Baird ~ Fall 2018


Sir Andrew Baird
Englyn Penfyr

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            Byzantium sent its best
            The crown of Caid to wrest.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            Cold Wintermist’s martial lord
            Bested the bee with his sword.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            A reremouse from Calafi
            Likewise took apart the bee.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
A baron hight Killian
Gave Sir Andrew his first win.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            Who lost to Tiberius,
            A knight just as furious.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            A baron from Gyldenholt
            Fell eric-ward with a jolt.

Crucible tests the mettle of a man:
            Though the bee did not advance
            Sir Andrew Baird made his stance.
