My first Cadel

"Let all attend that you shall know
Matthuas Plattnersohn
Did to our Kingdom beauty show.
This quiet gentleman
By his hand created
Art and armor, clothes and more
And yet his muse, unsated,

By these alone, he turned his hand
To glorious stained glass
And the Renaissance Masters grand
To study and surpass.
He who was largely self taught,
In arts and sciences diverse
Is his life now fraught.

With all his skill he is now bound
By King and Queen’s commands
To join companions all around
Within these Eastern lands,
Created by our hand a
Companion of the Maunche is he,
In fair Malagentia.

Fifteen July, year Forty-one
At Great Northeastern War
By Anna Queen and King Brion
Have set their Hand full score."
