Examples

It's true that I have loved, And gladly would again; But sad heart, and famished belly Not even partly satisfied Force me away from paths of love. And so, let someone else take over Who has tucked away more food – Dancing is for men of nobler girth. François Villon

They ravage and sweep away my banquet, and befoul and upset the cups, there is a violent stench and a sorry battle arises, for the monsters are as famished as I. What all have scorned or polluted with their touch, or what has fallen from their filthy claws, helps me to linger thus among the living. Gaius Valerius Flaccus
