<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The belted fighters for both the Kings, had met upon the field</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > To fight for Crown and Kingdom, with no intent to yield</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Then came the noble allies, to answer friendships call</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Each fighter fought with honor, and then just one would fall</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> ></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Unbelted fighters yet remained, the Star firm in the lead</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The Star called on Romanius, no doubt he would succeed</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > For upon that very evening, he'd stand before his King</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > To join the noble Chivalry, while the people all did sing</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The Triskel called for Yoan Moon Yang, against Incipient Knight</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > To fight with strength and honor, and never yield the fight.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The Scorpion and the Spider, stood across the field</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Ready at the moments call, many blows to deal.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> ></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The first blood was to Scorpion, Romanius took Yoan's arm.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > So Yoan then cast aside his shield, and readied with no alarm.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Romanius explained beneath the Star, the foes may always yield</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > But the Spider he could not agree, cause for his Crown he fought</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > So the Scorpion set aside his shield, for he was with honor taught</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The battle then it did resume, and sword to sword did ring</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Until the spiders leg was caught, with a swiftly well placed swing</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> ></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > The spider kneeled most wounded, Romanius asked not for yield</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > But granted Yoan one last request, upon that battle field.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Yoan turned to face his lady, the one for which he fought.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Then saluted her most truly, before defeat was caught.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> ></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Romanius was quite rightly moved, by chivlary displayed.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > And did what I shall remember , and never let to fade</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > His swords next blow was his own leg, and to the ground he fell.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > Twice the scorpion caught the spider, but the spider was set free</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">> > But not all things last forever, and the fatal blow was three.</FONT>
