Renaissance Gentlemen

Oh, not for that they ought
They fought when they fought,
But they fought for the glory of the fight;
And they wedded while they wooed,
Ere the fury of their mood
Went out in the blackness of the night.

Oh, boldly led they then
The life of living men,
In their glory, their bravery and pride!
They were cruel and strong
On the right side and the wrong,
And gallantly, gallantly they died.
