Oh, spirits. I don't know that I could quote anything off the top of my head. Recitation - of poetry anyway - isn't really anything I'm good at, I'm afraid. But I'll describe the general sense, shall I?

[Without pause, she launches into it:]

These things usually begin with a description of the knight in question and their armor and colors and crests, the latter of which all stand for something like virtue or honesty or some allusion to some virtuous Lord in the upper house who's commissioned the thing. And usually they carry some blessed sword or enchanted shield and there is an entire aside about their lover or their cause or the land that they come from and how the dragon has ruined one, two, or three. Oh and usually the dragon is really meant to be someone quite unpopular in one of the courts or Houses. And then of course they meet in some field of battle all rife with meaning and the brave knight slays the horrible dragon and so on and so forth. It's all very dramatic.
