3TC

The knight sheathed his sword

The page had now turned

The handmaiden fainted

Her indiscretion a burn

A note had been written

And now all was clear

The knight, indeed smitten

But the king thought it a smear

The king’s anger with punishment was announced

There will be a duel! And the poor knight was trounced.

(A warning to all-if the princess a beauty,

Keep feelings secret, only mind your duty.)
