She,
ruling
sovereign;
royal chaplet
repose upon crowns,
monarch's regal pageant.
Eagle eyes watching, await;
penance, of love's expectant kiss;
from her champion, brave knyght erraunt.
Sire, won her commanding royal favours,
noble lord; obeisances monarch's throne,
wanders lands; on her perilous quest.
Serviced favours, grace regal queen,
honoured noble shows courage,
loyal hope endures pain;
faithful the rapture,
oath acquiesced
bears promise;
sworn to
her.

Author's Notes:
Knyght erraunt - 14th century term for a wandering knight.
Original inspiration: Cervantes used the term knight errant in his novel Don Quixote and more recently Heath Ledger refered to his sire as a knight errant in the movie A Knight's Tale. Those two words stuck in my head.
