Lance in hand I spur my horse
  Gallop on my trusty steed
Set in thy way upon our course
  On hasten with all speed.
Tilting with giants away we go
  Galloping forward to our fate
Lance set, head straight, and both of us know
  The dangers which we face.
You are strong my valient steed
  You serve me with desire,
No opponent meets your need
  None can quench your fire.
Toward the giants we draw near
  My lance point straight and true
And in our loins no room for fear
  Tis but our task to do.
We strike the lance into his chest
  We pummel him to the ground
With every effort give our best
  Til none are left around.
Giant to giant, foe to foe
  We give them what for and why
And against them stand, toe to toe
  Until we win or die.
Rescue the maidens, tame the wild
  Give us all to do
Only before God, we're meek and mild
  Until our quests are through.
Slaying giants, winning wars
  We gallop to our doom
Just you and my, my faithful horse
  For others there's no room.
So gallop on trustworthy friend
  Let's take to them the fight
And do it til the very end
  On the side of right.

Knowlege tempered by wisdom...Wisdom tamed by youth.

I love this! THIS we could use more of....where have all the knights gone out here?  Enjoyed thoroughly, Nancy.
