Gentlemen Who Joust

Gently probing her vulnerabilities
     seeking only the slightest advantage
   He parries her feints most delicately
     awaiting an opening to do some damage...
 
   When she, shockingly, reveals a secret so deep
     then casts aside his sword to weep
   and declare: A man who jousts with a lady fair
     is mete to unseat in her heart's affairs
