"...As shines the moon in clouded skies,   She in her poor attire was seen; One praised her ankles, one her eyes,   One her dark hair and lovesome mien. So sweet a face, such angel grace,   In all that land had never been. Cophetua sware a royal oath: 'This beggar maid shall be my queen!' "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------Inspired by "The Beggar Maid" poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson. However, I decided to replace the role king Cophetua and his fair beggar maid with a knight and a street musician.

If you are wondering, Gilbert's uniform indicated he belonged to the Johanniter Order, the German Protestant branch of the Knights Hospitaller. From 1811-1812, The Order was being transferred and put under the authority of the Prussian crown. Today, The Order is still operated with their current Herrenmeister - Prince Oscar of Prussia as the leader.

Meanwhile, the Austrian lady is always a beauty even when she is not in those fancy dresses.
