"Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect"

"Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect"

(I think The Byrds version was better though. YMMV.)

A verse that was never published:
"Kings and queens beguile my scenes,
Though their faces never shown,
Knights in shining armor ride
Until from my sight they're gone.
Ministers at court aghast
At the jester's faithless bow!
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now."

(IDK who wrote it, I just saw it somewhere, and tucked it away......)
