minstrel: spices and gold & vivat the dream

[Lisa and Ken Theriot]

Joan,

I have seen "Vivat the Dream" credited to Mistress Warjna Waleska Katzjmjr, 
aka Varina Suellen Plonski, though I do not know that to be fact.


The Knowne World remembers `mid laughter and tears
The dream we've been dreaming for (so many)* years
And in celebration we gather as then
To be certain the Dream comes alive once again

CHORUS - So sing Vivat the Dream may it live long
                 In hearts and in poetry, story and song
                 For all men need a dream as we all can
                 And each time that we gather we dream it again

Chivalry, courtesy, honour and love
Are ideals that we cherish all others above
Ideals are the fire in the hearts of all men
And each time that we gather we dream it again

CHORUS

Each lord needs a lady to strengthen his arm
Each lady a lord for to keep her from harm
`Tis love and the Dream brings together all men
And each time that we gather we dream it again

CHORUS

The Knowne World remembers `mid laughter and tears
The Dream we've been dreaming for (so many)* years
And in celebration we gather as then
To be certain the Dream comes alive once again

CHORUS x 2


*This often appears as the current A.S.  I believe the song was written 
around the time of the TFYC, so the number has gone up from twenty-five as 
the years roll along...


Sorry, I do not know the other song.
