Written by Toki Redbeard in Spring of A.S. 41. This was a poem commissioned by the Rogues of Sherwood to honor the Rogues of Sherwood. The verse form is kvithuhattr.
| Green the runes | Rogues bear proudly, | |
| Green will mark | mercenaries. | |
| Macsen's folk, | murderous bowmen, | |
| darken skies | when darts are loosed. | |
| Bow strings hum, | by heroes pluck'd. | |
| Flight-swifts speed | past flexing curves. | |
| Shaft-quicks fletched, | shooting skyward. | |
| Spikes seek shirts | spears cannot reach. | |
| Men with bows | and mirthful songs, | |
| feast they with | fine humming ale. | |
| Source unknown, | sausage also; | |
| victuals | for vicious troop. | |
| Buttes are lined | with lethal mates, | |
| practiced well | with points and elms. | |
| Fields are piled | with fallen men; | |
| hired spikes | have split their coats. | |
| Bows for rent; | Rogues of Sherwood. | |
| Eager they | to aid your cause. | |
| Free-booters, | fair in pricing. | |
| Reasoned terms | rarely refused. |
