In the reign of Charlemagne

Deep in Gascony

An old, wise Dragon swelled

They call him jilocasin

The Dragon was a poet

Respected troubadour

A very special Dragon

Could take human form

He traveled back and forth

From Humans to Forest

Then one day while traveling in the forest

The troubadour heard a desperate cry

Not losing a moment he ran to help

Found a woman trying to defend herself

The poet quickly changed into a Dragon

Two swift blows and the bandits were dead

The woman fainted from her injuries

The Dragon took her to his dwelling

Jilocasin cared for her

A Lady of prestige

He undid the bundle

Clasped to her breast

A peaceful baby sleep

Oblivious to everything

Soon the Lady woke

And he took human form

Lady was so grateful

She told him everything

She was widowed within two years of marriage

Her husband was great but now he’s gone

Her family forced her to marry her cousin

A greedy man that wanted title and wealth

The wedding was quick and the morning ignored

Still pregnant by her first husband, no one knew

When baby was born six months after the wedding

Husband tried to take so Lady ran away

Thank you for saving us

My life belongs to you

The Dragon let her in

Love grew as time passed

She knew he was a Dragon

But it did not change their Love

Dragon had all he wanted

Traveled to far off places

Loved and sang together

Three years they lived this way

To complete her happiness, she became pregnant

They both looked forward to the birth of their son

But tragic she died in child birth

Jilocasin, sadness, despair

The only companion who loved him as he was

Faithful Dragon raised the boys as his own

He taught them so well and presented them

The two brothers, Knights of the Dragon,

noble with honor

They avenged their mother’s memory

Took back their castle from their villainous uncle

Who had stolen it from them
