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,

And make bold power look pale, they threw their caps
As they would hang them on the horns o' th' moon,
Shouting their emulation.
