The dragon slayer

[Biggus]

Long, long ago in an eastern land
There did a heathen city stand
A city besieged by a malevolent beast
Who upon the people’s flesh did feast
Poisoning victims with rancid breath
The dragon then consumed their flesh
The Kings own daughter a maiden fair
Would be sacrificed at the dragon’s lair
In bridal white which showed virginity
She embraced her fate with dignity
Then came George a chivalrous night
Upon the field the creature to fight
The beast reared up he took his chance
And disabled the dragon with his lance
The wounded beast fell to the ground
He captured it then and had it bound
He would kill it if that they yearned
If the people to Christianity turned
When fifteen thousand souls agreed
He dispatched the dragon from his steed
So a legend born in Christian prayer
The tale of George the dragon slayer
