He was her knight in shining armor <br />high upon his white steed. <br />Sworn to protect his princess, <br />from dragons and evil deeds. <br />Dragons he slew aplenty, <br />and evil doers were driven away, <br />to protect his beloved princess never did he stray. <br />The challenges were many, <br />and for her honor he had fought. <br />Alas, the toll of life and strife <br />had left him quite distraught. <br />With armor creased and tarnished, <br />and lance that matched the sway of his old horse. <br />Still he protected his love, his princess, <br />till life had run its course. <br />Who is this courages knight who fought so gallantl <br />Why none other than the Prince of Abbruzzi, <br />from sunny Italy.<br /><br />Angelo Ventresco<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-gallant-knight/
