Dirk Of The Justifier

Dirk Of The Justifier

A Poem by Franc Rodriguez
"

An uprising in Caledonia would be led, by a justifier from the seed of Boudicca.

"
Many lost centuries long ago
Liv'd this warrior of Caledonia,
Whose old name remains silent
Within a legend of the Justifier.

Legions of Hadrian would fight
Against those tribes of the Celts,
Who were led by the brave seed
Of a notorious queen Boudicca.

Nero, quell'd the stubborn queen,
As the Roman's wrath doom'd her,
And the tribes to submit to his rule
Beckoning for a new hero to arise.

From the bairns of the highlands 
Rose a valiant warrior of the Celts,
As he led an uprising against Rome,
Where his men stood at Hag's head.

'Twas said by a hoary witch then,
That the breath of Beira was felt,
With the wintry storm freezing the
Legions of cadent trodden Romans.

Vengeance was exact'd afterward,
By the majestic dirk of the Justifier,
Whose bold spirit blows from Argyll
Onto the fresh strait of Corryvreckan.
