“I hunger, fellow; prithee, give me food!”

“Give! am I rich? This hatchet take, and try

Thy proper strength, nor give those limbs the lie;

Work, feed thyself, to thine own powers appeal,

Nor whine out woes thine own right-hand can heal;

And while that hand is thine, and thine a leg,

Scorn of the proud or of the base to beg.”

“Come,

surly John
