From the Halls of Calafia

From the Halls of Calafia
To the shores of Puget Sound,
We will slay our doughty foemen
Where ever they are found.
First with broadsword then with greatsword,
Then with axe and mace also;
We will cleave them where we find them
From the head down to the toe.

Tune 'Marine's Hymn' By Duke James Greyhelm, Sir Steven MacEanruig, Sir William the Lucky, Duchess Verena of Laurelin, and Sir William of York, on returning from the Angels Anniversary Tourney, 14 October, VIII (1973)
