Classic Poem

Three sons he had, three gallant sons they were,
And like their fire in field of Mars renown'd;
High deeds achieved they, most passing rare,
In European and in Asian ground;
Yet still with splendid conquest were they crown'd:
Now did they combat 'gainst the unbaptiz'd,
And were in Palestina to be found;
Their deeds of hardiment all men surpriz'd,
And by their chivalry themselves they eterniz'd.
