    (Medieval Cambrian soldiers song)

    I sat alone in a darkened inn
    With the coin of Dieu et mon droit
    Surrounded by the haughty
    Just asking for a fight

    I left the place at midnight
    To my ship in the port
    To travel to the ancien regime
    Where a battle would be fought

    Dreaming on the ship
    My thoughts in extremis
    Only to be revived
    By visions of sweet Venus

    A fortnight later i lay dying
    In Crecy, battered and burned
    A Welshman recalling his achievements
    And everything he had learned.

    (Taken from Vespers)
