A knight must be willing, wise, yet still tenacious
Cloaked in bravery, wrapped in armor, courageous
To face a dragon is to face a foe most dangerous
The knight must seek to find the greater advantage
While avoiding such a battle is perhaps wise,
If the warrior is true, with this battle he'll be baptised
With tears or sweat, or blood, he might even die
The oath to bear his sword leads a knight to fight
The epic battle whenever entered will be fatal
For the knight or dragon, even both, the makings of a fable
Whatever the result, one or both will be no longer able
But oh the stories others will tell, seated about the table
"The pure light of chivalry... distinguishes the noble from the base, the gentle knight from the churl and the savage;... rates our life far, far beneath the pitch of our honour, raises us victorious over pain, toil, and suffering, and teaches us to fear no evil but disgrace.”
