Proposal Number 7 for the Anthem of the Gwent Friendship Society of Beauclair. Author: Stéphane de Douve, master cooper.

Gwent is like a ruddy wine, Gwent's a night with a lady fine. When before you two armies clash, Your cares melt off in a dash. Then you wish but to play, play, play, But her indoors whines: hit the hay, hay, hay! Such minds are dull as muddy yards, To think this but a game of cards!

Chorus: Gwent is my liberty, Gwent is my fraternity, Gwent relieves the day's sorrow, and Gwent is my morrow.

Poker has had it, and dice is a bore, There's no other game that makes you want more. There are no better satisfactions, Greater than Beauclair's Belles' is its list of attractions, Greater than even the Festival of Drinks, Or even a tipsy young minx. They can holler and shout, they can release the guards, I'm leaving home, I'm off to play cards!

Chorus: Gwent is my liberty, Gwent is my fraternity, Gwent relieves the day's sorrow, and Gwent is my morrow.
