Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is read more

Because his feathers are more beautiful?
Or is the adder better than the eel
Because his painted skin contents the eye?

And a petition granted them, a strange read more

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.
