Chivalry

I want to tell of manly men and speak of brave bold deeds, when stout men battled clime and foe while mounted on fine steeds, fair maidens kept their home and hearth when they set out to war, to expand the boundaries of their realm win booty and spoils galore, with manners fine and panoplied in their finest suits of arms, their baggage trains by squires led, lade with trophies jewels and charms, the martial strains they underwent, the things they had to bear, acted on their noble souls and brought them to despair, as time progressed and men did too the things that they esteemed, had some how under gone a change and weren't what they seemed, that pain and death, brutality could never be the measure, of the greatness of that chivalry that great men learned to treasure, traditions have come down to us once used to make men noble, when practiced proud and faithfully make chivalry's realm global, those inclined to follow them and emulate their ways will find a way of living the remainder of their days.
