before the closing act is done
and if a crowning wish is won
before the utmost prayer I pray
just one more dragon might I slay
and save a lady in distress
perhaps to win a brief caress
for what is all of life about
unless a man can have some clout
and yet in age the sword must fail
and knightly muscles must grow frail
desire forever knows no bounds
and so with memory's arms surrounds
her beauty for a dreamer's sleep
distinctly I forever keep
till dragons find eternal rest
and knights all end their final quest
