A Peacock once placed a petition before Juno desiring to have
the voice of a nightingale in addition to his other attractions;
but Juno refused his request.  When he persisted, and pointed¹ out
that he was her favourite bird, she said:


"Be content with your lot;
one cannot be first in everything."
