| Whan that November, with his
windes goote The droghte of Autumn hath perced to the roote And bathed every leeve in
swich colour, Of which myrthe banish all doulour; Whan Baccus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth The harvest croppes, and the aged sonne Hath in the
Ram his fulle cours yronne, |
And fowlkes maken merrilye,
That revelen al the nyght with flaggons heye- Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
For to seken the Chapel and wein-asoked vayle The Abbess welcomes al from sondry londes
and dayles; And specially from every shires ende Of Midrealm, to Vanished Wood they wende! |
Dust off your walking stick and wend your way to The Chapel of the Invisible Joy where the
Abbess welcomes all weary souls who hunger for glory in combat, instruction in the Arts
& Sciences, and fine food and drink! Veneration of the Wine Soaked Veil of St.
Aycelienah is optional and all who attend shall receive a “maternoster” as a
BADGE OF PILGRIMAGE to assist in your devotions.
