AoA for Evelyn of Easton

I'm a little back logged in getting some of my work up.

This is an award of arms that was created for Evelyn of Easton. It was done to appear like unto the manuscript of Playford's Gathering Peascods, as Evelyn is a dancer. The words were written by Lord Tristan le Chanticleer.

Gathering Lady Evelyn

To Gathering Peascods, Playford 1651, Arr. PCB

Section A – 1^st Repeat

Now Avelina Queen

            and Kenric rightly King,

Are moved to dance and sing

Section A – 2^nd Repeat

For cooks who keep the Weasel iced

            And feast to table bring

In joy as rafters ring.

Section B – 1^st Repeat

‘Tis Evelyn of Easton’s hold

            Whose service makes Us bold

For virtues should be told

Section B – 2^nd Repeat

            For she is light of foot

                        and quick with needled thread,

            We hold it enough said.

Section C – 1^st repeat

In A.S. Fifty One,

            On September 3 is done,

As Smoking Rocks today takes pearls,

            New Baroncy unfurled,

Section C – 2^nd repeat

For this and other charms,

            Bestow Award of Arms,

And cut the heralds short to greet,

            this Lady of the Court.
