His father was a warrior, flawed but uniquely talented and skilled
Lancelot was tempted, broken by love but never bested in combat
His mother possessed a swan-like grace and an unique beauty
Elaine of Corbenic was a spiritual maiden of the Holy Grail
She would be chosen by the Fisher King to serve the Lord
Elaine's father King Pelles had a powerful prophecy
The union of Lancelot and Elaine would bring perfection
Castle Corbenic's daughter was wise and spiritually pure
Lancelot's warrior spirit would run like fire in his veins
He'd remain true to the quest, when others failed the test
In combat none could compare, for he was born to his role
Galahad refused to believe what others said about him
For he was also perfectly humble, wise, generous, and kind
To be perfect in such traits, leads to a knight who is perfect
