Le captif pour sa gourmandie.
Le Rat regnant au cellier, rongeant tout,
Des huystres vit baillantes par un bout:
Sa barbe y mit: & faux os il attrape,
Lesquelztouchés feirent tomber la trape,
Et le larron en prison ont tenu,
Qui par soy mesme en sa fosse est venu.[1]
Plusieurs se rendent serfz, captifz aux bonnes
maisons seulement pour les bons morceaux, plu-
sieurs aussi font leur fosse avec les dens, se
procu-
rans mort avant aage, par exces de gourmandie.
