All is done Ullr's season
Descends with winter's sea-breath
From northern frozen mountains.
End of strife Einvigi age
Dealing cruel death to swordsmen
Fought they did for honour and
Fame; on now to Odin's hall
Valhal's walls valour recall.
Fiercely swords did feast on blood
ullr's shields shone most brightly
In misty morning ravens
Gather; whose wounds form their feast?
And who would win glory from
crown'd brow of breaker of rings?
Though kin and cattle all die
Famous deeds forever live.
Famed the name Known for her skill
Jocelyn Joyful sword-maid
Challengers Chose well their doom
With flick of Flashing blade, fell.
Wording by Lord Dietrich von Sachsen, as an award for a Royal Tourney.

Jocelyn de Cranewall, Einvigi Rapier Most Traveled, 2015
Harken Ealdormere! Hear the words
From herald's lips; Loud they proclaim:
Weather of weapons Washed on our shores
And brave souls walked The wide Whale-road.
Who sought the sea-steed Sword holding high?
Wandering Odin Ne'er walked so far.
Not for Freyja's tears Tore men from wives,
But honour and High esteem sought.
From land of far Skrael to Skeldergate
Harrowgate Heath hears loud spear-din.
Bryniau and Caer Draeth call warriors
To take to ships taunting the Norns.
Konnugr Steinarr Calls wandering
War-maiden here; Mark well her deeds!
Fair Drottning Lyda Lauds her labors!
Silver blade shone- Shamed challengers.
Hails well from Cranewall- Cry out her name!
Hail Jocelyn! judge you right brave!
Brav'd wind and weather Breaker-of-Rings
Honours your name Now homeward come.
