"I see how this game is played" Said the crafty knight to the captive maid "The dragon sleeps today I crept by as he lay I've got a planting field with ox and till And a cottage upon the hill to fill I'll take you to see them If you'll grant me your freedom" And she said, "What about the poems I sing The harp I play, and the joy I bring" He said, "Plenty of room for all you have In the place I saved for my better half" But the valiant knight lost his valiance Traded it for the lesser talents Of keeping the cottage ruly and neat And keeping quiet the little feet The harp stay hidden and poems unsung Little was heard from the maid's tongue And though fields were tilled and cottage filled There was little joy upon the hill Until one day the dragon returned And with a stout breath the cottage he burned Little feet were silenced, and knight was no more The dragon stood tall, the maid before "We meet again, Serpent-Beast" The maid said without fear in the least The dragon replied in a hearty bellow "You're to be a delicious feast" "Why would you wish to eat me," she cried "I haven't the salt of a knight's pride You once caught me to sing, my freedom it cost I would sing for you now But my voice is lost" Said the dragon, "Your husband chose the fate I bring Before were silenced the poems you sing If true were the valor of your late betrothed Alive would tomorrow see you both" And with one gulp he swallowed her down Complete with socks and nighting-gown And with her last breath, said the maid "I see how this game is played"
