Done by our hands and seal this _______________ day of _____, in the thirty-fifth year of the Society, Our Falcon Thrones being set in Our ______________. Notes:  Yes, Christine writes prose as well--this is taken from Othea's Letter to Hector (1399).  It seems that there were several public clocks using temperance as a theme, possibly inspired by a clock put up by Charles V, king of France.  The portion that is a quote is from Temperance? to Such is the case?   For the rest of it, I'm just doing the legalisims, as would be appropriate for a servant.
