Appetite


Here’s neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray Heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth. Scott.—Peveril of the Peak, Chapter III.	1
Appetite comes with eating, said Angeston. Rabelais.—Gargantua I. 5; So, Hamlet, Act I. Scene 2.	2
[Where, referring to his mother’s affection for the late King, he exclaims, “Heaven and earth! must I remember? Why, she would hang on him as if increase of appetite had grown by what it fed on.”]	3
Why, at this rate, a fellow that has but a groat in his pocket, may have a stomach capable of a ten-shilling ordinary. Congreve.—Love for Love, Act II. Scene 7.	4
A stomach as sharp as a shark’s; never was in finer condition for feeding. Foote.—The Patron, Act I.	5
Doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. Shakespeare.—Much Ado About Nothing, Act II. Scene 3. (Benedick.)	6
