This page is only for the (probably a lot to) people who have not read the Book of Swords.
Who holds Coinspinner knows good odds
Whichever move he makes
But the Sword of Chance to please the Gods
Slips from him like a snake.
The Sword of Justice balances the pans
Of right and wrong, and good and fair.
Eye for an eye, Doomgiver scans
The fate of all folk everywhere.
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, how d'you slay?
Reaching for the heart in behind the scales.
Dragonslicer, Dragonslicer, where do you stay?
In the belly of the giant that my blade impales.
Farslayer howls across the world
For thy heart, for thy heart, who hast wronged me!
Vengence is his who casts the blade
Yet he will in the end no triumph see.
Whose flesh the Sword of Mercy hurts has drawn no breath;
Whose soul it heals has wandered in the night,
Has paid all summing of all debts in death
Has turned to see returning light.
The Mindsword spun in dawn's gray light
And men and demons knelt down before.
The Mindsword flashed in midday bright
Gods joing the dance, and march to war.
It spun in the twilight dim as well
And gods and men marched of to h---. (i'll let you finish that one)
I shatter swords and splinter spears
None stands to Shieldbreaker.
My point the fount of orphans' tears
My edge the Widowmaker. (also know as the Sword of Force)
The Sword of Stealth is given to
One lowly and dispised.
Sightblinder's gift: his eyes are keen
His nature is disguised.
The Tyrant's Blade no blood hath spilled
But doth the spirit carve
Soulcutter hath no body killed
But many left to starve.
The Sword of Siege struck a hammer's blow
With a crush, and a smash, and a tumbled wall.
Stonecutter laid a castle low
With a groan, and a roar, and a tower's fall.
Long roads the Sword of Fury makes
Hard walls it builds around the soft
The fighter whom Townsaver takes
Can bid farewell to home and croft.
Who holds Wayfinder find good roads
Its master's step is brisk.
The Sword of Wisdom lightens the load
But adds unto their risk.
Who holds Coinspinner knows good odds
