About bis next days board and keep
He'd don bis metal pants, and scurry
On his chargers back, with the world

He'd tear the air with hts dolefnl cries.
He'd split the air with bis cadnced

Till her father charged with his lance

To vassal and seneschal loudly calling
And chased the gallant his girl loved

Afar from the donion and castle gray
Like a bunch Of ghosts through the

Out over the meadows and far away
