A View To Die For

The turret view tells of looming onslaught, of grievous weapons our enemies brought. The petrary and ballistae amongst the worst. May their soldiers and their kings be curst! We are outnumbered in bodies, not spirit. Our will is strong, our resolve with merit. We stand against what the battle may bring. Together we fight for country and King! Arm yourselves with long launchers and bows. Archers to the bailey, ready the throws. Armor yourselves with gambeson and shield. Die standing, take no knee, nor otherwise yield! The battle won, our praises to God we sing. Today we rebuild for country and King!

I'd sharpen my sword for a pep talk like that. Good job, Linda.

Thank you Jenna. I aspire to be as good as you (and a few others I've read on PS) in a few dozen years. :)
