Though Philip the Second	A
Of France was reckoned	A
No coward his breath came short	B
When they told him a dragon	C
As big as a wagon	C
Was waiting below in the court	B
A dragon so long and so wide and so fat	D
That he couldn't get in at the door to chat	D
The king couldn't leave him	E
Outside and grieve him	E
He had to receive him	E
Upon the mat	D
	-
The dragon bowed nicely	F
And very concisely	F
He stated the reason he'd called	G
He made the disclosure	H
With frigid composure	H
King Philip was simply appalled	G
He demanded for eating a fortnight apart	I
The monarch's ten daughters all dear to his heart	I
And now you'll produce he	F
Concluded the juicy	F
And succulent Lucie	F
By way of start	I
	-
King Philip was pliant	J
And far from defiant	J
And servile no doubt you retort	B
But if you struck a snag on	K
A bottle green dragon	C
Who filled up two thirds of your court	B
And curled up his tail on your new tin roof	L
And made your piazza groan under his hoof	L
Would you threaten and thunder	H
Or just knuckle under	H
Completely I wonder	H
If put to proof	L
	-
By way of a truce he	F
Brought out little Lucie	F
And watched her conducted away	M
But all of the others	N
Were out with their brothers	N
Thus gaining a little delay	M
He promised through heralds sent west and east	O
His crown and his kingdom and last not least	O
His daughter so sightly	M
To any one knightly	M
Who'd come and politely	M
Wipe out that beast	O
	-
For love of the charmer	H
Arrayed in his armor	H
Each suitor for glory who yearned	P
Would gallantly hasten	C
The dragon to chasten	C
But none of them ever returned	P
When the dragon had eaten some sixteen score	Q
He hung up this sign on his cavern door	Q
Whereat he lay pronely	M
In majesty lonely	M
	-
	-
There's Standing Room Only	M
For Three Knights More	Q
	-
	-
A slim adolescent	J
His beard only crescent	J
Rode up at this stage of the game	R
To where the old sinner	H
Lay gorged with his dinner	H
And breathing out torrents of flame	R
He gathered a tip from the flaunting sign	S
And took his position the fourth in line	S
Until as foreboded	J
By food incommoded	J
The dragon exploded	J
At half past nine	S
	-
The king was delighted	J
At first when he sighted	J
The victor but then in dismay	M
Regretted his promise	T
The stripling was Thomas	T
His Majesty's valet de pied	J
He asked him at once Will you compromise	U
But Thomas looked straight in his master's eyes	U
And answered severely	M
I see your game clearly	M
And scorn it sincerely	M
Hand out the prize	U
	-
Not long did he linger	H
Before on the finger	H
Of Lucie he fitted a ring	V
A month or two later	H
They made him dictator	H
In place of the elderly king	V
He was lauded by pulpit and boomed by press	W
And no one had ever a chance to guess	W
Beholding this hero	X
Who ruled like a Nero	X
His valor was zero	X
Or something less	W
	-
	-
The Moral And still from Nice to Calais	M
Discretion's the better part of	Y
valets	M
