'Tis storied of Artaxerxes Memor, that when he was flying before his enemies, he fed hungrily upon barley bread, and said, Cujusmodi voluptatis hactenus in expernus fuit? Oh, what pleasure have I hitherto been ignorant of; when great Darius drank the puddled water, that had been defiled with dead carcasses which had been slain in that famous battle, he professed he never drank more pleasant drink. And famous Hunniades said, he never fared more daintily, than when (in a like exigence) he supped upon bread, onions, and water, with a poor Shepherd in his cottage.
