What a lovely, lovely boy he was, And such pretty manners-oh! And a charming boy he was because- He knew what to say, where to go. Such a fine man he became, became; And such courtly airs and flair! As scents crowd summer, none the same, And leave a memory everywhere. A gallant man, so smart and all! And honest and seemly strong. His portrait graces palace wall; And the days of glory are long. Such a noble, nobleman was he, All subtle in face and grace; A finer man could never be, He had admirers in every place. As fresh a breath of air he was, As in nature's own vast room. And so much loved he was because He somehow cast off all gloom. Such a fiery knight and true! And what a passion he gave, he gave. Turned pale skies so to blue, And he never, never knew a knave.
