31.7.11

mummers be merry





"I have come in red robes roaring
From the red clouds of the dawn,
It is then that people call me,
The mighty Lord Red Lawn.
I have come in scaley green,
From the green hells of the sea,
Where fallen skies and evil hues,
And eyeless creatures be.
I sired the mighty Uther,
Quaffed many an English flagon,
I am called The Turkey Knight,
Indeed, I am the Dragon!"


-The Mumming Play of King George & the Turkish Knight
