This is titled "A LOVE STORY" and was
written by Moll of the Britain forests
The Moons rode high like a spectral eye. A ghostly galleon in a cloudless
sky.
The Moons looked down o'er river and town tae see four riders upon
the ground.
An armored knight who rode for right, a darkling mage the party's
sage,
an elf with bow tae smite the foe, a dwarf so strong from caverns
long.
The riders rode tae right a wrong, tae save a maid from deaths sad
song.
Set her free from grim deaths alter was their task they would nae
falter.
The king so old, tae save his gold, had bargained wit' the dragon
bold.
His daughter gave unto the grave, by the dragon's hand, his gold
tae save.
But the maid so fair, beyond compare, said nae a word as they tied
her there.
She lay there to await the Dragon's will. So the riders rode a drake
to kill.
A reward tae earn, the gold they'd spurn, the maidens hand made
each heart burn.
Elf bow sang, armored scales rang, attacks bounced from the drake
with a clang.
Her choice, ye see, t'would be one of three and each heart prayed
let it be me!
Now the Drake did sleep in his mountain keep on a pile of gold in
caverns deep.
The moon climbed high in the cloudless sky till the appointed hour
did draw nye.
The dragon woke, flames did stoke, from cavern flew, spouting fire
and smoke.
Now the Dragon's fire was mixed wit' ire and lit the sky like a
funeral pyre.
And the comet born that early morn gave a mighty roar that did riders
warn.
Wings black as night filled hearts wit' fright as dragon reeled
intae the fight.
Now riders tae prevent the kill rode tae reach foot of the hill.
And the Dragon flew straight and true at the armored knight his
flames did spew.
The elf bent bow tae kill the foe, but the shaft it broke on the
scales below.
The mage leapt down upon the ground, a spell tae cast; protection
all 'round.
But the mighty knight who rode for right was now ablaze with fire
bright.
His race was run, t'was now two plus one, as Dragon soared flaming
like a sun.
Now dwarf so strong, from caverns long, drew back his arm tae right
this wrong.
And so let fly intae the sky, his magic hammer made in years gone
by.
Now the hammer Vis would ne'er miss, it sped towards the foe wit'
a deadly hiss.
But drake did swerve then hammer curve, coming round behind tae
strike a nerve.
Wing broken the dragon sang with pain, with a mighty crash fell
tae the plain.
Three riders hoped for a kill, but as Drake rose their hearts went
still.
Wing broken the dragon sang with pain, with a mighty crash fell
tae the plain.
Breath of flame makes tempests seem tame, the mage's spell to the
rescue came.
The elf bent bow the drake seemed tae grow, the dwarf knew t'was
time tae go.
Wit' a snarl drake's head shot out and with a snap snuffed dwarf's
life out.
T'was now one and one, mage's lightning bolt blazed like the sun.
His magic he used tae create a great ruse, took the form of a man,
all tae confuse
The ransom demand had all been planned, So maid and her love could
start in new land
As the maiden did cry a tear fell from her eye ontae the drake,
then tae breath he did try.
Magic in her heart, gave drake a new start, wounds healed by love
caressing each part
There they did stay till breaking of day, rejoicing in love that
now found a way
The sun looked down o'er village and town, a strange sight tae see
upon ground.
