First Line: His fiery destrier now champing stands
Last Line: Now to each glossy flank the spur is press'd.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Knights & Knighthood; Love
His fiery destrier now champing stands;
The rimy cobbles to his hoof resound;
Each glowing nostril fev'rously expands;
His volley'd breath smokes fast along the ground;
Impatiently he waits his lord's commands,
With twitching ears that strain at every sound.
Now mounts the knight to do his Love's behest;
Now to each glossy flank the spur is press'd.
