Otto · Answer 1

"Till I scarcely more than muttered: 'Other friends have flown before - - On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.' "

This suggests that he has been abandoned by "other friends" in the past, so this time around it won't be any different.

Mason Yu · Answer 2

This line describes the speaker's past friends as having flown before and leads to the speaker assuming that the raven will do so to0. This suggests that the speaker has had his friends leave him in the past leading to the assumption that the raven will leave as well.
