Though friendships differ endless in degree ,

The sorts, methinks, may be reduced to three.

Ac quantance many, and Con quantance few;

But for In quantance I know only two –

The friend I’ve mourned with, and the maid I woo!

The Three Sorts of Friends by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Another animal story in the spirit of The Peaceable Kingdom. If them, why not us?

Thanks to dear Ann for sharing this and all her wonderful poetry.
