In all of France was held

A great, poetic Joust

The Court of Eleanor

Celebrated Troubadours

This day the winner unknown

A very handsome, young man

Who refused to give his name

Or  where he had come from

Aura of mystery

His kindness and beauty

Soon made him a favorite

With the ladies of the court

Griselda, wistful girl

Young daughter of Lord Foix

Fell in Love with the Knight

And declared her Love for him

They were married in secret

He took her to his home

Only on the condition

Only see him when he chose

The lady made a promise

To be with her true love

She would never try to find

The secret that he kept

One night she fell asleep

Within her lovers’ arms

She woke up in a castle

Her husband was beside her

You are here in my house

Which now belongs to you

You are my Lady, true Love

All that is mine is yours

If you need anything

I will gladly give to you

I wish only for your Love

Do not forget your promise

The young prince would leave her arms

A locked room in the castle

Curiosity took over

The young Lady had to see

She crept up to the door

And spied through the crack there

Horrified she did watch

He turned into a Dragon!

Green scales and powerful wings

She cried out in horror

The Dragon Prince wheeled around

Terrified wife in doorway

Deeply hurt by betrayal

The Prince had her removed

The Court of Aquitaine

Never again to see her

She could not forget her Love

And not a day passed by

Happiness beside Dragon

And so she wrote this for him
