The shining knights ride up and down
Winking at many a lady in a fine gown
Who sigh, look away, and seldom suppose
Such brawny dolts would be reliable in life’s darker throes— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 7, 2018
Only sages and bards can now tell
How the vanished empire fell
If good rulers foul usurpers overthrew
Or a creeping plague all folk slew
All they now for certain know
That it all befell oh, so long ago— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 7, 2018
About her loins cruel blades she doth gird
And off to war doth boldly go
For war-horns are now more often heard
In the rich realms yonder, down below
For there, she’s heard, wizards stalk with glowing hands
And kings do kneel to their dark commands— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 9, 2018
