Kings of Orleans

Kings of Orleans

 * Kings of Orleans *
These Kings of Orleans
Bright fellows jousting
Second sons expendable
Sowing wildest oats
Travelling circus of vices
For such as these incorrigibles
Field of Gold created
The best and worst of two kingdoms
In valourous combat to perform
Reflect vigour of their nations
In peacock vain finery proclaim
Riches of their King
To joust until chargers weary
Sore bones to rest return
To pavillions long and laden tables
Of mead and pork and royal wine
Till unsobered and stuffed full
A general collapse of all the company
Time to dream for these
Metal clad armoured Kings of Orleans.
