	Welsh Triad?  And here Ithought that was a forbidden act in most
southern states!  Shows how little we Norsemen know.
	Seems simple enough, If I may try...(here, hold this horn will
you, mind the port, it bites!)

	The strength of a good ship;
		The beat of the oars
		The beat of the sword arm
		the beat of the saga

	Oh, and we raid in Wales this week.  Where is that horn....What!
Oh well, I've more where that came from.
