It helps, when submitting for comment, to give us some idea of what we 
should be comparing against. Sorry, about the time I thought I recognized 
the form you were using something tripped my "waitaminute" triggers. Were 
you trying for a verse form & metric pattern that I am just not familiar 
with?

I'll rush beyond that and say that I liked the treatment of the subject, I 
*think* I've found a vocal pattern that will work, and unless you 
specifically request otherwise this puppy is gonna be performed in 
Ansteorra.

Aeronwy, you have captured the critical points that *should* be reconsidered 
whenever the SCA considers honor. There are no doubt others who would add or 
remove from the enumeration you have chosen to use. That will not make them 
more or less "right". If I may assume that this is your voice, speaking from 
your heart, using your words (and I will!), then I think we could all do 
well by listening to more of whatever you feel strongly enough to tell us.
