Contra i chiacchiareri & golosi.
Against gossipers and gluttons.
Grida con roca voce,
il gozzo ha largo,
E, come naso, o, come tromba, ha il rostro.
Lo
struzzo e assembra a quei, che mai non tace,
Ne con la gola in alcun tempo
ha pace.

Captivus ob gulam.
Caught by greed
Regnatorque penus, mensaeque arrosor herilis
Ostrea mus summis vidit hiulca labris.
Queis teneram apponens barbam falsa ossa momordit,
Ast ea clauserunt tacta repente domum.
Deprensum & tetro tenuerunt carcere furem,
Semet in obscurum qui dederat tumulum.[1]
A mouse, king of the pantry, nibbler at the master’s table, saw oysters with their shells just slightly open. Applying his sensitive whiskers, he nibbled the deceptive bone. But the oysters, when touched, suddenly slammed shut their house and held the thief, caught red-handed, in a noisome prison, a thief who had put himself into a lightless tomb.
1. This poem is a translation of Anthologia graeca 9.86.
