A song by Mikal the bard
There once was a leader, a glorious man,
the wise and the fair and the noble king Han.
His reign had brought peace and prosperity for all,
from the oldest to the youngest, the tall and the small.
Some people were jealous and wanted his wealth,
they tried to get closer through force and through stealth.
But no man was able to touch the good king,
for he could take on what any foe could bring.
None was more cunning, more clever or smart,
the swing of his sword was a form of art.
And the mighty king Han had men on his side,
all loyal and strong and they stood there with pride.
He conquered his foes, they all found defeat,
the king could sit down on his ivory seat.
The glorious leader, a victor once more,
deserving the following praising galore.
Here comes the tale of king Han to an end,
for always remembered by foe and by friend.
