the etiquette of praise

[ursula]

I've just discovered the Known World Poetic Challenge. If all goes well, I should be at Pennsic in time to enter it, and I've written my fair share of poetry in praise of rulers; but I don't have a poem for a currently reigning queen. Would using a poem for a former queen be a faux pas? I could probably find the time to write a new praise poem or two, but I would have to reuse a woodcut, and the Scythian poem is probably better than anything I could come up with tomorrow.
