Such power I gave the people as might do, Abridged not what they had, now lavished new, Those that were great in wealth and high in place My counsel likewise kept from all disgrace. Before them both I held my shield of might, And let not either touch the other's right. –Solon, quoted in “Solon,” Plutarch Who are the people Solon gave rights to? citizens living in poverty
