Transfundit pasta venenum.
After they have fed, they pour out their poison.
Aucuns pervers & outrageus, se recreent d’estu-
dier, & remplir leur memoire des plus atroces injures
qu’ils peuvent entendre & tirer de toute meschante
langue, ŕ fin que venans ŕ injurier quelqu’un, ils le puis-
sent piquer jusques au cœur, & le faire mourir de des-
plaisir s’ils peuvent. Et ainsi font commme les Guespes,
[M]
lesquelles mangeans par grande avidité d’un Serpent,
rendent leurs aguillons plus venimeus, & leurs piquu-
res plus dangereuses & mortiferes.
