Note 374 — Chapter IV · INTELLECTUAL INFLUENCE (Continued)
George Herbert Ely translation
Young Maupas’ sparrow—he is dead, alack! Fair maids, lament him. A thing unfeathered save upon his back Hath slain and rent him. Ye know the rogue—that froward wight Called Love hath done it out of spite, For when the mistress ’scaped his arrow, He turned about and slew the sparrow.
