I bid thee great welcome to our humble hall. All guests, both of noble blood and that of the common and popular, come forth to the great hall for an evening of modest entertainment and stout victuals. Hail and Welcome good lords and ladies, neighbours, and kindred, to this, a celebration, and a madrigal feast. We are privileged this eve to have in our presence nobility from lands far and wide. Let the announcements and procession begin!
