PARF 2025: Court of Revels – Halloween I (Sat 10/11), Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

Raw footage 125 of 176. Once again, essentially a stationary full shot, still a bench too far forward for the tripod. The shot drifts at times, for I was paying more attention to the stage than the camera.

Other things to note:
● Very brief stinging insect at 7:57.
● JR Rouse and Madison Caudullo were beyond-awesome enough to provide the lyrics to their original song so I might include them here. They can be found below the tracklist and timestamps.
● You can absolutely hear me quietly singing along at times, not just mouthing lyrics this time. I had hoped the camera was far enough above me to not pick that up, but alas!
● Frustratingly-standard surrounding noise, too.
● Not the worst example of the mics this season, but still noticeable at times.
● First day of the new plot, they were still perfecting it.
● As always, I make words and sounds. Some are prompted by filming, but none are intended for the camera/mic.

The Court of Revels
CERNUNNOS
Gather children, one and all
Heed the Court of Revels’ call
From fables, legends, myths of yore
to learn what be in store
A wicked little tune
That might have graced thine ears before
. . . . .
CLÚRACHÁN
Cén t-ainm atá ortsa,
Tell me, what’s thy name?

TALIESIN, MONTGOMERY, ROÍSÍN
Speak thee, and play the Devil's game
Beware Unseelie queries, child…

CLÚRACHÁN
Be not mad, thou simply had
thy sanity beguiled

MONTGOMERY
I heard from me Nan of Clúrachán,
the Trickster of the Fey.
They’ll lie and cheat for a chance to eat
thy memories as prey.
What a crying shame to lose a name,
thy soul trapped in their den.
Well on woodland walks, should ye see that fox,
thou hast become the hen!
Should ye hear…
. . . . .
ÁINE
Níl sibhse go hálainn
all thy faces, flawed

TALIESIN, MONTGOMERY, SIONNACH
Veil thine eyes from their wicked façade
Love thyself whilst thou still can...

ÁINE
For darlings, when I'm done,
thou ne'er shalt be thyselves again!

SIONNACH
From far beyond, the fairest Áine,
glamorous and vain
If thy looks be bland, she cannot stand
for anything that’s plain
At an arrow's pace, she'll break thy face
and mold it to her glee
And look back at thy reflection to see
Eyes unknown to thee
Say!
. . . . .
MACHA
Uch! Bearla nimhuil
Thou hast broke our terms

TALIESIN, ROÍSÍN, SIONNACH
English words taste of sulf’rous worms
From sanguine sin the wolf was born

MACHA
The death of mother tongue
Eira ne'er shall she mourn

TALIESIN
To value life, ne'er cross a knife
with Macha, fierce and strong
Their will be done with mercy none
to all who've done them wrong
Through corpses, mud, and English blood
They'll hunt forevermore
At the stag's command, cry havoc and
let slip the hounds of war!
HUH!
. . . . .
CERNUNNOS
Failté an dobrón
Pendulum return...

MONTGOMERY, ROÍSÍN, SIONNACH
English soldiers, thou hast never learned
Thy wretched boots upon our clovers
oh, our serpents fled…

CERNUNNOS
Thy Pádraig sliced our tails,
but will never strike our heads!

ROÍSÍN
Clutch thy cross for Cernunnos
The regent of the fey
With a finger’s snap―

CERNUNNOS
For centuries, I served our Queen
until that mournful day
Thy mortals hearts abandoned us
And banished us away
Then Tempests, Famines, Blights endured
Our warnings we did roar
Now the Queen of darkness beckons
So prepare thee now for
WAR!

I invite and encourage you to download this footage to use, reference, and enjoy independently of the questionable platforms on which it is hosted.

My eventual intention is to clean up the audio and visuals somewhat, at which point I will unlist this raw footage and post the cleaned-up version on the main PARF-fan account.
