(I have discovered you can make Lewis Carol poems by putting line breaks into descriptions of heraldry)
 
Argent on a Cross flory
at the ends, Sable five
Bezants between 
in chief to the dexter 
two Swords Azure 
and Gules in saltire
and to the sinister 
two Keys Azure 
and Gules in saltire.
 
Out of a Mural Crown 
Or a Fountain between a Branch of Oak 
leaved and fructed and 
one of Beech slipped proper.
 
On the dexter side a Lion 
sable 
and on the sinister side
a Horse Argent 
each with a Cross 
formy fitchy
pendent from a Collar counter-changed.
 
A Fountain charged 
with a Cross flory at the ends 
Sable 
thereon five Bezants.
