In the reign of Charlemagne
Deep in Gascony
An old, wise Dragon swelled
They call him jilocasin
The Dragon was a poet
Respected troubadour
A very special Dragon
Could take human form
He traveled back and forth
From Humans to Forest
Then one day while traveling in the forest
The troubadour heard a desperate cry
Not losing a moment he ran to help
Found a woman trying to defend herself
The poet quickly changed into a Dragon
Two swift blows and the bandits were dead
The woman fainted from her injuries
The Dragon took her to his dwelling
Jilocasin cared for her
A Lady of prestige
He undid the bundle
Clasped to her breast
A peaceful baby sleep
Oblivious to everything
Soon the Lady woke
And he took human form
Lady was so grateful
She told him everything
She was widowed within two years of marriage
Her husband was great but now he’s gone
Her family forced her to marry her cousin
A greedy man that wanted title and wealth
The wedding was quick and the morning ignored
Still pregnant by her first husband, no one knew
When baby was born six months after the wedding
Husband tried to take so Lady ran away
Thank you for saving us
My life belongs to you
The Dragon let her in
Love grew as time passed
She knew he was a Dragon
But it did not change their Love
Dragon had all he wanted
Traveled to far off places
Loved and sang together
Three years they lived this way
To complete her happiness, she became pregnant
They both looked forward to the birth of their son
But tragic she died in child birth
Jilocasin, sadness, despair
The only companion who loved him as he was
Faithful Dragon raised the boys as his own
He taught them so well and presented them
The two brothers, Knights of the Dragon,
noble with honor
They avenged their mother’s memory
Took back their castle from their villainous uncle
Who had stolen it from them
