''Elizabethan Sonnet'' by [[Petronilla de Chastelerault]]


:Our swords are strong, our spears are finely keen,
 
:Our arrows swift and fletched with feathers white,
 
:Our shields are broad and gleaming blue and green, 

:Our armor shining, ready for the fight. 

:The hearts of Caid's men are valorous, 

:The honor in their hearts is stronger still, 

:And the Caidan hearts that power us 

:Will lead us from “Lay on!” to final kill. 

:Though we meet each other on the tourney field 

:We all know where our loyalties do lie- 

:We render them to Caid's azure shield,
 
:Unto the kingdom that will never die.
 
:And on this day, remember why we fight, 

:Our swords alone will not proclaim our might!
