OF SUCH AS HAD FORSAKEN HIM
UX ! my fair falcon, and thy fellows all ;
How well pleasant it were your liberty !
Ye not forsake me that fair might you fall.
But they that sometime liked my company,
Like lice away from dead bodies they crawl :
Lo ! what a proof in light adversity !
But ye, my birds, I swear by all your bells,
Ye be my friends, and very few else.
