    They said they were anhungry; sighed forth proverbs--
    That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat,
    That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent not
    Corn for the rich men only. With these shreds
    They vented their complainings, which being answered
    And a petition granted them, a strange one,
    To break the heart of generosity,
    And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps
    As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon,
    Shouting their emulation.

With this there grows
In my most ill-compos'd affection such
A stanchless avarice that, were I King,
I should cut off the nobles for their lands,
Desire his jewels, and this other's house,
And my more-having would be as a sauce
To make me hunger more, that I should forge
Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,
Destroying them for wealth.
