He Thinks of His Past Greatness when a Part of the Constella

    And weep because I know all things now：

    I have been a hazel-tree， and they hung

    The Pilot Star and the Crooked¹ Plough

    Among my leaves in times out of mind：

    I became a rush that horses tread：

    I became a man， a hater of the wind，

    Knowing one， out of all things， alone， that his head

    May not lie on the breast nor his lips on the hair

    Of the woman that he loves， until he dies.

    O beast of the wilderness²， bird of the air，

    Must I endure your amorous³ cries？
