Quanto sia dannosa la gola.
How harmful greed is.
Il Topo avezzo a roder le vivande,
Un di mal di mangiar satio e contento
Un’Ostriga
trovo capace e
grande,
Che a caso tenea aperto il monumento.
Ei v’entra
audace, e
cerca in quelle bande:
Ella tosto si chiude, e’l
serra drento.
Cosi la
gola’che
meschin condusse,
A perpetua prigion sciocco l’addusse.

El cautivo por la gula.
OTTAVA ACEPHALA.
Unas conchas abiertas visto avia
Un raton, y ą mordellas allegando
Cerraronse, a’quel tiempo que ponia
La barba en ellas, a’l qual apretando
Tuvieron en su carcel encerrado
Donde por su querer el avia entrado.[1]
1. This poem is based on Anthologia graeca 9.86.
