- Sure ev'ry thing alive is vain!
- Does not the hawk all fowls survey,
- As destin'd only for his prey?
- And do not tyrants, prouder things,
- Think men were born for slaves to kings?
- When the crab views the pearly strands,

Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers - "I've Had Gay Sex, But I'm Not Gay"In conversation, Flea revealed that he had gay experiences of his own growing up, episodes he wrote about at length in an preliminary version of the publication.

He seemed into it when I fucked him in the East Village in the preliminary 90s. I'm not a fan of the band and didn't keep up with his career and was shocked when this book came out and it turns out he's not an out same-sex attracted. I was sure he was out. And a lot of gays in the East Village idea that, too. by FABLE[49]XLIX.[Page 167] [Illustration] 1 Whetheronearth,inair,ormain, 2 Sureev'rythingaliveisvain! 3 Doesnotthehawkallfowlssurvey, 4 Asdestin'donlyforhisprey? 5 Anddonottyrants,prouderthings, 6 Thinkmenwerebornforslavestokings? 7 Whenthecrabviewsthepearlystrands, 8 OrTagus,brightwithgoldensands, [Page 168] 9 Orcrawlesbesidethecoralgrove, 10 Andhearstheoceanrollabove; 11 Natureistooprofuse,sayshe, 12 Whogaveallthesetopleasureme! 13 Whenbord'ringpinksandrosesbloom, 14 Andev'rygardenbreathsperfume, 15 Whenpeachesglowwithsunnydyes, 16 LikeLaura'scheek,whenblushesrise; 17 Whenwithhugefigsthebranchesbend; 18 Whenclustersfromthevinedepend; 19 Thesnaillooksroundonflow'randtree, 20 Andcries,alltheseweremadeforme! 21 Whatdignity'sinhumannature, 22 SaysMan,themostconceitedcreature, 23 Asfromacliffhecasthiseye, 24 Andview'dtheseaandarchedsky! 25 Thesunwassunkbeneaththemain, 26 Themoon,andallthestarrytrain [Page 169] 27 Hungthevastvaultofheav'n.TheMan 28 Hiscontemplationthusbegan. 29 WhenIbeholdthisgloriousshow, 30 Andthewidewatryworldbelow, 31 Thescalypeopleofthemain, 32 Thebeaststhatrangethewoodorplain, 33 Thewing'dinhabitantsofair
