Chivalry is held in high esteem,
By the Knights around this table,
'Tis the Heart of who we are,
Essential to keep the Kingdom stable.
A Knight must be dexterious,
In the weapons of Defense,
But his Character must be tempered,
By Valor, Courtesy and Good Sense!
Understand, We are men of War,
'Tis our Duty to protect the weak,
Aged denizens and children young,
Are those of which I speak.
Also those whom we ensconce,
Are Maidens, Damsels fair,
We've sworn Oaths to safeguard,
See that harm doth not ensnare!
We must our Oaths do honor,
As we've sworn to the King,
Thus rescuing Damsels in distress,
'Tis a most Excellent thing!
