Quotations on Falcons

| Quotations: 3 | Pages: 1


by William Shakespeare
(April 23, 1564 - April 23, 1616)

My falcon now is sharp and passing empty, And till she stoop she must not be full-gorged, For then she never looks upon her lure.

by William Shakespeare
(April 23, 1564 - April 23, 1616)

On Tuesday last A falcon, now tow'ring in her pride of place, Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.

by Alexander Pope
(May 21, 1688 - May 30, 1744)

Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove? Admires the jay the insect's gilded wings? Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings?
