Custom Sabbat Ritae

A Visit from Renee
‘Twas the day before Palla, when all thro’ the haven,
Not a cainite was stirring, not even a revenant;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Renee soon would be there;
The childer were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of games of instinct danc’d in their heads,
And Sire in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long day’s nap-
When out in the haven there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
The sun on the breast of the new fallen snow,
I used Aegis to keep watch in mid-day below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and four tiny hell hounds,
With a little driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Renee.
More rapid than eagles her coursers they came,
And she whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
“Now! Spot, now! Rover,
“On! Fifi, on! Fido;
“To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
“Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of viate and visc mods - and Archbishop too:
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Renee came with a bound:
She was dress’d all in fur, from her head to her foot,
And her clothes were all tarnish’d with ashes and soot;
A bundle of vitae was flung on her back,
And she look’d like a peddler just opening her pack:
Her eyes - how they twinkled! Her dimples how merry,
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry;
Her droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of her chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe she held tight in her teeth,
And the smoke it encircled her head like a wreath.
She had a broad face, and a large black coat
That shook when she laugh’d, like a bowl full of jelly:
It was chubby and plump, like a right jolly old elf,
And I laugh’d when I saw her in spite of myself;
A wink of her eye and a twist of her head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work,
And fill’d all the stockings; then turn’d with a jerk,
And laying her finger aside of her nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney she rose.
She sprung to her sleigh, to her team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:

But I heard her exclaim, ere she drove out of sight-
Happy Palla Grande to all, and to all a good night.
