Gwenllian de la Foret

Short Description: 

Gwenllian was princess of Atlantia from 09/15/1979-04/12/1980.

Poem (Canso): 

When she gave us delicious joy to share
Increased our lore, exalted dignity,
It was with deed of educated flair.
She found our Royal University.

Fair Princess Gwenllian, the nation's pride,
The apple of our eye, she beat the drum
To make us wise. We education tried
And learned to love the Roman trivium.

We loved in high degree this princess smart
This bookish Gwenllian was heaven's tool.
Her reign was tranquil peace.
She had our heart -- Although she made us sit through boring school.

She left this realm well-loved, well-taught, well-ruled.
I think that we were never better schooled.
