Flattery

FLATTERY

The world and its affairs
To me are quite unknown
These secrets are not bid
From those who insight own.

Hang on the Ministers,
If you desire high ranks
New rules have been now framed
For this age by the Franks.

If a man calls the owl,
"The kingly hawk of night"
Too hard to find this fact
Wh'r he tells wrong or right.
