Excerpt from “Saint George and the Dragon”:

Good friend, if you’ll but lend an ear and maybe an eye or two,

I’ll share with you a tale of valor and of a love most true.

Tonight I tell of good Saint George, a brave and valiant knight,

And how, to save his lady fair, a dragon he must fight.

But that’s not all for poor Saint George, as you soon will see.

So, too, must he make a journey long and conquer perils three.

Why to such trials must he apply to test his mettle thereby?

For love of one whose face and call is the fairest of them all.
