Shields and swords&lt;br&gt;<br /> approached the fray with caution, as the knight&lt;br&gt;<br /> and Duke moved in a warlike dance, arrayed&lt;br&gt;<br /> and shining, passing, circling, on the field; &lt;br&gt;<br /> testing the strength of shields, yet not too bold,&lt;br&gt;<br /> no opening to tempt the swift and strong.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> From west to east they moved, the strong&lt;br&gt;<br /> Tyger and Dragon, striking with their swords&lt;br&gt;<br /> until at once those well-matched warriors bold&lt;br&gt;<br /> espied a weakness, and both Duke and knight&lt;br&gt;<br /> (from east to west returning o'er the field)&lt;br&gt;<br /> struck at the legs 'neath sturdy shields arrayed. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> And now those knights, in steel arrayed, &lt;br&gt;<br /> crashed to the ground, with bell-like echo strong&lt;br&gt;<br /> resounding from Mount Aislinn to the field.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Then each saluted each, with upraised swords;&lt;br&gt;<br /> each took his place, so neither Duke nor knight&lt;br&gt;<br /> had more advantage in that combat bold.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Now on their knees they fought, the bold&lt;br&gt;<br /> and mighty Duke, in honour well arrayed,&lt;br&gt;<br /> and shield to shield with him, the Eastern knight,&lt;br&gt;<br /> our valiant champion Manfred, skilled and strong,&lt;br&gt;<br /> close-joined in battle, with determined swords,&lt;br&gt;<br /> for only one at last might hold the field.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> The two strove hard to win the field.&lt;br&gt;<br /> First Moonwulf struck, but Manfred blocked his bold&lt;br&gt;<br /> endeavor, and amid the clash of swords&lt;br&gt;<br /> the East that day in glory was arrayed:&lt;br&gt;<br /> for Manfred struck, his sword-arc swift and strong,&lt;br&gt;<br /> and Moonwulf fell, slain by our champion knight.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> What battlefield was e'er so well arrayed?&lt;br&gt;<br /> The Tyger's swords met well the Dragon strong;&lt;br&gt;<br /> the victor bold was Manfred, Eastern knight.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> © Janet Anderson September 30, 2011</div>
