Paul Laurence Dunbar - The Knight
Work rating: Low

Our good knight, Ted, girds his broadsword on
    (And he wields it well, I ween);
  He `s on his steed, and away has gone
    To the fight for king and queen.
  What tho` no edge the broadsword hath?
  What tho` the blade be made of lath?
    `T is a valiant hand
    That wields the brand,
  So, foeman, clear the path!

  He prances off at a goodly pace;
    `T is a noble steed he rides,
  That bears as well in the speedy race
    As he bears in battle-tides.
  What tho` `t is but a rocking-chair
  That prances with this stately air?
    `T is a warrior bold
    The reins doth hold,
  Who bids all foes beware!
