Leveling Thine Soul

Where ye knights shall travel half in scorning
I shall be here at thy castle forever adorning
I curtsy to milords who allow thee to gape
as to thy bedchamber thou rises with cape.
I thyself take ye honor to shine thou boots
thou ancestry falls akin from mighty roots
thee quest it be for milords to see thy face
as graceful as that of princess's flowing lace.
Christened to be where thou lie as honorable
giving all of thee in desire to be embraceable
counting not ye miles of distance yet fought
but continuance of thou eyes to measure me
leveling thine soul to love thou caution free.

I love the beauty of your words Esmerelda.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

I in honor thank all of thee from thy depths of thine heart, thou words of praise succumb me to flutter graciously like thy birds of paradise in flight.
