...another edition of: "LA-LA-LYRIC"?? This seems to have been abandoned; let's have an "encore"! Here is my song: BRANWEN SLAYNE by Faith & The Muse O my deare brother I am damnifyed at Caer Siddl For myn housbonde hath this twelfmonth treated me with crueltie Albe to please thee I didst cheerfullie accept his proffred hand I was ne'er wary he was ruler of y Uffern land For whan his gastfull subjects they didst first espy hir freondlesse Queene Eftsoone they wept for I to them was noughte but a living thinge Hence with despight his consorted kingdomes Stonie hart eshewede And I am thrall'd to sufferance in poverte and servitude For I am one of three great queenes of the Cymry LONLINESS PATIENCE WISDOM HAPPINESS O my brother thou art Kinge of the Island of the Mightye Alfeare of thy rage hath plac'd silent centenells at Caer Siddl Ynow for bane or worse that may betide I send my gentil byrd Whilst I bemone mine outcast state Tho hold my tonges unthrifty worde There mew'd withine its tamed winge Myn urgent message pleades thyn ayd Battallous make thy complement And reskue this most piteous mayde Heerin this underwourldly gloome I implore thee to appeare And carrye me to Aber Alaw for I am buried here LONLINESS PATIENCE WISDOM HAPPINESS And I am one of three who broke their harts in griefe Ok, so it's in Middle English... Enough of it is legible that I think you can get the gist of the story. (If you *really* do get stuck, ask me for a translation.) Good luck!! ;)

I don't know the game, but this is Branwyn's plea to her brother Bran, for her rescue from Ireland.

Ulfdis	28 Jan 2005
8 of Swords, maybe?

blackroseivy	30 Jan 2005
That's the game. As to the 1st guess: Nope! Keep trying! ;)

magpie9	31 Jan 2005
9 of swords?

Pipistrelle	31 Jan 2005
3 of Swords?

blackroseivy	01 Feb 2005
Lotsa swords! So far, not yet! ;)

Ulfdis	02 Feb 2005
The Lovers? The singer chose the rich and scabby one with whom she is now sorely displeased.

Qofcups	02 Feb 2005
First instinct I though 8 of swords because she seems trapped and wants to be rescued, but unlike the 8 of swords, she is not blindfolded. She sees what can save her. I am thinking of the Devil in my Robin Wood deck. The lovers chained to the daemon as they reach for the escape down the long hallway. Just beyond their reach. "And I am thrall'd to sufferance in poverte and servitude" This makes me think of the 5 of pentacles, but servitude could also be the prisoners in the Devil card. There are also hints of Queens and pages. Could it be an ill-dignified Queen of cups? I think I will go with THE DEVIL...that is my final answer!

blackroseivy	04 Feb 2005
Hee! (& here I thought it'd be obvious...!)

Rosanne	04 Feb 2005
Lonliness, Patience,Wisdom Happiness - The Hermit?

blackroseivy	05 Feb 2005
Getting closer! ;)

Kit	06 Feb 2005
Not the Queen of Swords, is it? ......Whatever did happen to our Lalalyric game? I was offline for a couple of weeks during exams and when I returned it was gone :( Kit

blackroseivy	06 Feb 2005
That's why I decided to start it again! You're still not quite there! :D

OakDragon	07 Feb 2005
Five of pentacles?

blackroseivy	08 Feb 2005
So far, The Hermit was closest!

OakDragon	08 Feb 2005
8 of Cups?

Ulfdis	08 Feb 2005
The Hanged Man?

TemperanceAngel	08 Feb 2005
The Moon?

aaquwaa	09 Feb 2005
Strength?

blackroseivy	09 Feb 2005
Aaquwaa has it!!!!!!! :D I knew that someone would get there in the end! To me, Branwen's story typifies the kind of courage that the Strength of the card imparts; she refuses to be worn down, she doesn't beg for help until she is at the very end of a long rope. The formula "LONELINESS PATIENCE WISDOM HAPPINESS" rings as an anthem of inner strength in practice. This is what I see: Branwen with great inner strength. The lion is her husband, she cannot any longer endure what she must do to keep the lion at bay, so she calls upon the lion her brother, Bran. Your turn for next round, aaquwaa!!

Oh My! I got it! The trembling newbie takes the ball. Hope this is ok, not a song but from a Grimm's tale. A poor peasant died and arrived at the gates of heaven. At the same time a very rich lord arrived. St. Peter came out with the key, opened the door and let the rich lord in but ignored the peasant. The peasant heard how the lord was received and all the singing and rejoicing. After a bit, St. Peter came again and let the peasant in. The peasant expected great singing like he heard for the lord, but all was quiet. Yes, he was received with great affection but not the joyous response he wanted. St. Peter said to him, all things are done in heaven just as Earth. What card is this?

blackroseivy	10 Feb 2005
Judgement! (BTW: You're supposed to start a new thread, but never mind, that's for next time!)

aaquwaa	10 Feb 2005
ok, next time will do a new thread, sorry No not judgement but close you get what you've earned :)

Ulfdis	11 Feb 2005
Hi aaquwaa! My guess is Temperance.

aaquwaa	11 Feb 2005
no, but thats a good guess :) another clue all rich are not evil, The rich lord did more on earth for others than the peasant so he got more in heaven

Qofcups	14 Feb 2005
Justice?

ncefafn	14 Feb 2005
The Universe? (as above, so below)

aaquwaa	15 Feb 2005
Queen of Cups has it! I guess its your turn to lead. :) Aaquwaa

Qofcups	15 Feb 2005
Yikes! I'm a newbie, wasn't expecting to win, but happy all the same. Are there any guidelines for choosing a song?

aaquwaa	16 Feb 2005
Hey Queen of Cups, I was a newbie when I won too! Just go up and read the guidelines in the games guidelines. I didn't use a song but I think you are supposed to or a poem. I think you're supposed to start a new thread too but I'm new too. :) Aaquwaa
