A knight in armor Takes his stance Sword and buckler Raised before him.
The slanderous oppenent Enters hesitantly, his claim To righteous thought put To the test in trial by arms.
"Knave, ye shall fall For unkind words spoke In king's court's hall!"
And to it they have at, Round and round Ringing steel the only sound To be heard until first blood.
Sweat it runs down Both mens faces As they put each other Through their paces, And then the offended Sweeps aside foes defence At sword point forced to Give evidence of falsehood.
"Retract thy claim That my dame is But of common virtue I'll bare my steel And you will feel Her champions wrath I do this for the fairest See and god will grant That I best thee, And not were I a liar."
And yield such knave As bespoke, his jealous Bon-mot became the yoke Under which his combat prowess Was sorely put to justices test.

Takes his stance
Sword and buckler
Raised before him.
The slanderous oppenent
Enters hesitantly, his claim
To righteous thought put
To the test in trial by arms.
"Knave, ye shall fall
For unkind words spoke
In king's court's hall!"
And to it they have at,
Round and round
Ringing steel the only sound
To be heard until first blood.
Sweat it runs down
Both mens faces
As they put each other
Through their paces,
And then the offended
Sweeps aside foes defence
At sword point forced to
Give evidence of falsehood.
"Retract thy claim
That my dame is
But of common virtue
I'll bare my steel
And you will feel
Her champions wrath
I do this for the fairest
See and god will grant
That I best thee,
And not were I a liar."
And yield such knave
As bespoke, his jealous
Bon-mot became the yoke
Under which his combat prowess
Was sorely put to justices test.
