All the words in bold are hidden in the illuminated border.
Come hear of a warrior,
Northshield’s own,
whose heart and skill
are becoming known.
She shoots a sharp arrow,
fights with a sword,
throws a mean axe,
and never gets bored.
Thus Konrad and Aibhilin,
King and Queen We,
award this Bellerophon
unto young Niamh.
