The Adventures of Quentin Durward

In ancient days of knights and courts,
Where honour held its sway,
A tale of Quentin Durward’s fate,
Unfolds in grand display.

A Scottish youth with courage bright,
He ventured from his home,
To serve the Duke of Burgundy,
Across the lands to roam.

With trusty sword and valor keen,
Through perils deep and wide,
He faced the Duke’s foes and schemes,
With loyalty as guide.

Amidst the clash of warring realms,
And whispers of deceit,
Quentin’s heart stood firm and true,
No challenge did defeat.

Fair Isabelle, of noble grace,
Her beauty caught his eye,
In courtly halls and shadowed woods,
Their love did quietly lie.

Betrayal lurked in every court,
And power played its game,
But Quentin’s steadfast spirit shone,
And earned him lasting fame.

With every stride and gallant fight,
His legend grew and soared,
A knight of justice, bold and bright,
By fate and love implored.

So sing the praise of Durward’s name,
A hero pure and grand,
Whose tale of chivalry and love,
Enchants this ancient land.
