riddle
Beneath the glory of the Roman Eagle, great Caesar, famous in song and history, majestic banners were carried over him, presenting my Roman first. On spring days under sunny skies, when boys and girls dance, they are my last, that's for sure. A gallant knight and lovely lady strolled down a shady path; he offered her my whole, which she accepted with a smile.
