If it was a Tigershark, it probably wasn't known to Lord Kendrick's
Middling friend, since Tigersharks are proper to the East Kingdom.

Weaving their  wlonkful way.
Amidst the mead-sweet   merry melody,
Suddenly,   a sad sound:
The viol-da-gamba   vibrates vigorously,
An ominous ostinato   oo-doo, oo-doo, oo-doo.
Swiftly and surely,   shark happens.
