===Opening Court===
See [[Gyldenholt Unbelted 2009 Poetry]]
:One day a sloth came out to play
:And to his people Sven did say
:Draw nigh, an aisle be pleased to mark
:And seat yourselves, for Court now starts.
 
:Kolfinna likewise greets you here
:And wishes you great joy and cheer
:Unbelted champions will her please
:And children draw about her knees.
 
:Fair Gyldenholt bids you be seated
:Hospitably you shall be treated
:Though storm-clouds threaten and mists do play
:Our tourney shall proceed this day.
 
:Assembled is this royal court,
:And soon shall we begin disport
:So set you down, and have a peach
:And listen to Sven’s opening speech!
 
===Closing Court===
:We've finished the business of Caidan Court,
:And closings, I think, should be cute and be short.
:Let's cheer for Ursul--he's big and he's hairy;
:All Gyldenholt's foes should of him be wary!
:Her stature is low, but her heart it is braw;
:For Collette and Ursul, now hip, hip, huzzah!
 
:Sven is a Viking, and of us the king--
:Throughout all the realm his praise do we sing!
:Kolfinna's the Queen, and a fierce one, to boot--
:And her staff is in charge of selecting the loot!
:Our monarchs are splendid, and so we do say,
:With our hearts and our voices, hip, hip, hurray!
 
:Caid is the kingdom that we love the best
:We're west of the Atens, and south of the West.
:Our shores are washed in the blue of the sea,
:And no kingdom's people are happy as we.
:For the Crown and our people, for our customs and law:
:Hip, hip, Hurrah! Hip, hip, Hurrah! Hip, hip, Hurrah!

The day dawned wet and cold, and there was some concern that the tournament would have to be canceled. Happily, it was not, and more than 250 people enjoyed the hospitality of Gyldenholt. Court began and ended with slightly silly poetry (below) by Giles Hill, who served as both court and field herald.
