70 NA TURAL HIS TOR Y OF SHAKESPEARE. 
Guard (within). Qui est la l 
Pucelle. Paisans , pauvres gens de France : 
Poor market-folks, that come to sell their corn. 
Pucelle . Good morrow, gallants! want ye corn for 
bread ? 
King Henry VI., Part I. Act iii. Scene 2. 
Duchess . Why droops my lord, like over-ripen’d 
corn, 
Hanging the head at Ceres’ plenteous load ? 
King Henry VI., Part II. Act i. Scene 2. 
Cranmer (kneeling). I humbly thank your high¬ 
ness ; 
And am right glad to catch this good occasion 
Most thoroughly to be winnow’d, where my chaff 
And corn shall fly asunder : 
King Henry VIII., Act v. Scene 1. 
1st Citizen. . . . we’ll have corn at our own 
price. 
Marcius. . . . What’s their seeking ? 
Menenius. For corn at their own rates ; whereof, 
they say, 
The city is well stored. 
Marcius. ... .... 
They said they were an-hungry ; sighed forth pro¬ 
verbs,— 
That hunger broke stone walls ;. 
That meat was made for mouths ; that the gods sent 
not 
Corn for the rich men only
