A Long time ago in a far away land
There lived a famously beautiful Dame
She made all else seem ever so Bland
'Tis said Fair Esther was her name
From all across the land they'd travel
To try their chances at her Court
All with Glorious yarns to unravel
Of Feats and Fights and Foes they Fought!
But lo there lived one spiteful Fan
A Wyrm who ruled the Mountain Vales
And so he hatched an evil plan
To put an end to all their Tales
He Struck the sleeping court at night
And Stole fair Esther from her room
For all the men, try as they might
Could not prevent her hapless Doom
The dawn was greeted by cries of Woe
But One stood tall 'gainst tidings grave:
A Champion to battle this Fearsome Foe
His name was Sir Duncan, Handsome and Brave
So Duncan set out on his Faithful Steed
And while he rode he Schemed and planned
To battle the Dragon's Insatiable Greed
To win back the most Wonderful Jewel of the Land
At last he came to the Foul Wyrm's Lair
Spying Fair Esther, his heart set a-thrill
She called out to him to be on his ware
As the Dragon flew close with Murderous Will!
But Sir Duncan was ready, and turned to defend
His Steadfast resolve the Wyrm could not break
A Slash! And Again! His Sword did Rend
And Slew the Dreadful, Monstrous Drake!
The Land rejoiced the return of their Maiden
And Cries for their Wedding sang up to the Rafters
The plans were set, the tables were laden
And Duncan and Esther lived Happily Ever After

I feel like there's a very confusing mix here between what we know of Old English and new English. Some lines are too modern for me. I'm not sure if it's because I know it's newly written or if I'm being fair.
