[QUOTE="mneme, post: 7098970, member: 59248"] [FONT=Arial Narrow]True Thomas laid his harp away, And louted low at the saddle-side; He has taken stirrup and hauden rein, And set the King on his horse o' pride. "Sleep ye or wake," True Thomas said, "That sit so still, that muse so long; Sleep ye or wake? -- till the latter sleep I trow ye'll not forget my song. "I ha' harpit a shadow out o' the sun To stand before your face and cry; I ha' armed the earth beneath your heel, And over your head I ha' dusked the sky. "I ha' harpit ye up to the throne o' God, I ha' harpit your midmost soul in three; I ha' harpit ye down to the Hinges o' Hell, And -- ye -- would -- make -- a Knight o' me!" ([I]Rudyard Kipling, from the Last Rhyme of True Thomas)[/I] [/FONT] There's nothing more silly about the Bard throwing songs at the enemy than about the Wizard shouting silly chants and waving her arms about. Music is magic. [/QUOTE]
