Well Loved Rogue<br>

<br>
A song probably too mournful for two so bouyant.<br>

Farewell our Northern Baronage<br>
<br>
Now lessened is our glory,<br>
And fond farewell to Sir William,<br>
So famed in song and story.<br>
_From Grimfells shire to the Shadowdale<br>
Did he bear chivalry and wisdom,<br>
So raise a cup in a stout wassail<br>
Such a well-loved rogue in a Kingdom._<br>
<br>
With heart and strength he was endowed<br>
<br>
In battle cool and cagey<br>
Fighting for his beloved home<br>
And Rosamund his fair lady<br>
_'Tis the saddest day since our Kingdom's birth<br>
I will make this declaration<br>
For they lie at rest in the Calon Earth<br>
Such a well-loved rogue in a Kingdom._<br>
<br>
Though would never I had seen the day<br>
<br>
That tragedy thus would smite us,<br>
I know I hear Sir William say<br>
"Let nothing stop or stay us."<br>
_For his dream's now held in our Kingdom's hands<br>
And his trust will ne'er be broken.<br>
Let his honor live throughout our land -<br>
Such a well-loved rogue in a kingdom._<br>
