Written at the request of ' Bespoke Tours Ireland' to bring to the attention this inscribed ring recovered from the Wreck of the Spanish Armada ship 'Girona' Which must have been worn by a sailor and given with love from his sweetheart, and now at the Ulster Museum.

'The ring of the Girona'

 

There is nothing more

I can possibly give to thee,

Inscribed in the ring that speaks

Of a moment in two lifetimes

 

How warm the love

That lingers still,

And whispers through the ocean

In an emblem for eternity

 

Sweet memento to endure

Deep in the deepest depths,

A caress of a hand,

A kiss to remember forever

You've done more that resurrected an artifact,
you've brought it back to life in this touching verse.
Superlatives!

The ring found certainly spurs thoughts of romance even at a time of war. I'm sure the sailor was sorely missed by his love after the Armada went down to the bottom of the sea.
