Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCCB DEDEFFGGF| Our good knight Ted girds his broadsword on | A |
| And he wields it well I ween | A |
| He 's on his steed and away has gone | A |
| To the fight for king and queen | A |
| What tho' no edge the broadsword hath | B |
| What tho' the blade be made of lath | B |
| 'T is a valiant hand | C |

| That bears as well in the speedy race | D |
| As he bears in battle tides | E |
| What tho' 't is but a rocking chair | F |
| That prances with this stately air | F |
| 'T is a warrior bold | G |
| The reins doth hold | G |
| Who bids all foes beware | F |
