    I came across one my old note books from years ago. Friend and I would role-play bards by standing around banks in busy cities , playing lute music and typing out song lyrics. ( actually got some gold for our efforts lol)
    Know we have some hard core role-players so thought I'd post this old "Pub" type song. Who knows, might inspire someone. if not bard, perhaps
    can come up with some old poems which fit the UOR ear for recitals . Who knows...

    "TELL ME HOW TO WOO THEE"

    If doughty deeds my Lady please,
    Right soon I'll mount my steed.
    And strong his arm and fast his seat,
    That bares from me the mead.

    I'll wear they colours in my cap,
    thy image at my heart.
    and he that bends not to thine eye,
    shall rue it to his smart.

    Then tell me now, oh tell me please
    How am I to woo thee,
    how am I to woo thee.


    Westra

    ps: If anyone can find the author and or date of this song, would appreciate.

    Next time there is a Jupiter adventure I suggest at least someone sing humorous lyrics as we go.

    "The brave old Wizard got us lost
    got us lost
    got us lost
    Then the old wizard ran away
    ran away
    ran away
    The masses he was with died in the fray
    died in the fray
    died in the OOoOoOoO
    Oo oOoo OoOo..."

    I heard Blaise plays a bard IRL. He should be all over this...
    Jupiter likes this.

    I wrote in melancholy tones
    The melodies that made the masses
    forget themselves in passing
    and suggestive though their minds became
    and attacked their brothers to mine own gain
    Still the heart did lament the turning of a beautiful gift unto death
