Women's Verse 1:

Every winter season

Except for the reason

Of one war or another

(Really quite a bother),

The Queen of Rimmen and

her consort

Request their vassals

come and cavort.

On each and every ball,

The first man at the hall

Is Lord Ogin Jornibret of

Gaer

The Curse of all

Maidens Fair.

Women's Refrain:

Oh, dear ladies, beware.

Dearest, dearest ladies,

take care.

Though he's a very

handsome man,

If you dare to take his

handsome hand,

The nastly little spell will

be cast

And your first dance with

him will be the last.

Men's Verse I:

At this social event

Everyone who went

knew the bowes and
stances

And steps to all the

dances.

The Queen of Rimmen and

her consort

Would order a trumpet's

wild report,

And there could be no

indecision
As he revelers took
position.

The First dance only

ladies, separate

Away from such men as

Lord Jornibret.

Men's Refrain:

Oh, dear fellows, explain.

Brothers, can you help

make it plain:

The man's been doing this

for years,

Leaving maidens fair in

tears

Before the final tune's

been blast.

And her first dance with

him will be the last.

Women's Verse II:

Lord Ogin Jornibret of

Gaer

Watched the ladies dance

on air

The loveliest in the realm.

A fellow in a [sic] ursine-hide

helm

Said, "The Queen of

Rimmen and her consort

Have put together quite a

sport.

Which lady fair do you

prefer?"

Lord Jornibret pointed,

"Her.

See that boso, bob and

weave.

Well-suited for me to love

and leave."

Women's Refrain.

Men's Verse II:

The man in the mask of a

bear
had left the Lord of Gaer

Before the ladies' dance

was ending.

Then a trumpet sounded,

portending
That the Queen of Rimmen
and her consort
Called for the men to come
to court.

Disdainful, passing over

all the rest,

Ogin approached she of

bobbing breast.

She was rejected, saved a

life of woe,

For a new maiden as fair

as snow.

Men's Refrain.

Women's Verse III:

At the first note of the

band,

The beauty took Ogin's

hand.

She complimented his

stately carriage

Dancing to the tune about

the marriage

Of the Queen of Rimmen

and her consort.

It is very difficult indeed to

comport

With grace, neither falling

nor flailing,

Wearing ornate hide and

leather mailing

Dancing light as the

sweetest of dreams

Without a single squeak of

the seams.

Women's Refrain.

Men's Verse III:

The rythms rose and fell

No one dancing could excel

With masculine grace and

synocopation,

Lord Jornibret even drew

admiration

From the Queen of

Rimmen and her consort.

Like a beauteous vessel

pulling into port,
he silently slid, belying the
leather's weight.

She whispered girlishly,

"The housr is late,

But I've never seen such

grace in hide armor."

It 'twas a pity he knew he

had to harm her.

Men's Refrain

Women's Verse IV

The tune beat was furious

He began to be curious

Where had the maiden

been sequest'ed.

"Before this dance was

requested

By the consort and his

Queen of Rimmen

I didn't see you dance with

the women."

"My dress was torn as I

came to the dance,"

She said smiling in a voice

deep as a man's,

"My maids worked quickly

to repair,
While I wore a suit of
hide, a helm of a bear."

Women's Refrain.
