"Drede noght," quod Gorge, "I sall thee wenge full wele
Thorw myght of Jhesu Cryste." "Nay syr," scho sayd, "I rede
Bettyr it ys that thou fle then we boythe be dede."
Als thei thus togyder spake, this fowll dragon then
Begane to lyfte up hys hede and ryse up of hys den.
The maydyn whoke for ferde and bade that George suld fle,
Bot George umstrode hys hors: agayn this beste rode he,
And hym betoke to Jhesu Cryste and blyssyde hym wit hys hande
Agayne the dragon with herdy herte faste he come rydande,
And a sper to hym sete and hytte hym full ryghte,
And to the erth he bar hym down als a hardy knyght.
He gafe hym many a depe wonde and refte hym all hys myght.
The folke that on the walles lay, thai saghe this wonder syghte.
George to that maydyn sayde, when he had doyn this dede,
"Knyte thi gyrdyll abowte hys neke, and luke thou have na drede."
When yt was doyn abowte hys neke then rose this full dragon
And als a meke honde he folued hyr furth into the towne.

St George found a fossilised Dinosaur skull and claimed it was a dragon. 'nuff said.

I LOVE YOU!!!
seriously, the story of st george and the dragon is one of my favorites. i used to bring it up all the time to priests and nuns at school and they'd always basically tell me to bugger off or say it was just a myth. i loved asking about how if dragons are just fairy tales how come a saint killed one? they hated me and it gave me more reason to be difficult when they said shit like cuz the bible says so.
and i've also been thinking of this for the past couple days so you read my mind.
also... god i write alot, anyway, i took a class once where they taught us how to read ye olde english and pronounce it properly this makes me laugh.

Oh like you don't use 'togyder' and 'gyrdyll' from time to time.
Snob.

WTF I'm not reposting all that.
To anyone who's suffering from it - sorry about the white space of doom.
