[00:00.14]NEVILLE:
[00:04.12]When we left off last night
[00:07.82]The hideous dragon
[00:08.67]Had carried the maid to his cave by moonlight
[00:10.16]He gnashed his teeth, and breathed his fire
[00:11.80]The heath quaked, and we trembled in fear.
[00:13.58]I said someone must save this sweet raven-haired maiden,
[00:20.26]Though surely the cost will be steep.
[00:22.65]So we lads all drew lots,
[00:25.84]Our insides tied in knots,
[00:27.85]And I won, and the rest went to sleep.
[00:30.85]So, I picked up my staff, 
[00:34.46]And I followed the trail Of his smoke 
[00:37.40]To the mouth of the cave,
[00:40.12]And I bid him come out,
[00:42.42]Yea, forsooth, I did shout,
[00:44.06]Ye fool dragon be gone or behave!
[00:49.20]And then under my breath, 
[00:52.97]I uttered a charm said
[00:55.54]To make the worst fiends become kind.
[00:58.06]Knaves and knights of dire plights,
[01:00.67]Now diminish his sights!
[01:02.66]And it worked and the dragon went blind.
[01:06.24]And he charged off the cliff
[01:08.44]Howling mad and he died,
[01:10.64]And the maiden accepted my ring.
[01:13.82]And then you came along, 
[01:16.22]And were brave, bold, and strong,
[01:18.61]And in thanks, every night now I sing:
[01:21.46]Race you to the top of the morning!
[01:25.77]Come, sit on my shoulders and ride!
[01:30.06]Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
[01:33.82]Climb hills to remind you,
[01:38.13]I love you, my boy at my side!
[01:44.30]Now, another foul dragon's appeared, 
[01:47.31]I must leave you.
[01:48.96]He's scorching our land with his breath.
[01:52.14]From his lair this one taunts me,
[01:54.55]He dares me, he haunts me.
[01:56.49]Once again, we must fight to the death!
[01:58.86]Would to God I could stay and instead slay your dragon,
[02:03.05]This beast who sits hunched on your back.
[02:05.81]Would God I could wrench him away from your bed,
[02:09.97]Or cut off or tear off his terrible head,
[02:13.82]Could breathe out my fire on him 
[02:16.21]'Till he was dead,
[02:17.72]Or beg him to spare you and take me instead!
[02:23.17]As it is I must leave you in care of my brother,
[02:39.95]The wizard, who lives on the hill,
[02:42.72]Who has promised his art,
[02:45.94]Will soon pierce through the heart
[02:47.94]Of this dragon that's keeping you ill.
[02:51.12]And I know that your mother, God bless her,
[02:56.04]Would want you to do as he says and grow strong.
[03:00.46]And you know that as soon as I can I'll return,
[03:04.74]So be brave, son and know that I long
[03:08.75]To race you to the top of the morning!
[03:13.93]Come, sit on my shoulders and ride.
[03:18.34]Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
[03:22.97]Climb hills to remind you 
[03:27.71]I love you! 
[03:31.87]I love you, my boy at my side!
[04:02.25]
