In -Out of Africa- Dennys washes the Baroness's hair while reciting part
of a poem (she even accuses him of skipping a verse).  I really liked the
sound of the poem.  The verse I remember went something like:

		They love best
		that prey best
		both man and bird and beast


I read the book, and no such poem was mentioned (in fact, very little
involving anything even remotely personal was mentioned). The poem sounds
like it is authored by one of the romantics, but I haven't been able to
find it in any of the "index of first lines" I have looked through.


Any pointers would be appreciated.
