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.

Against a noisy and gluttonous fellow
EMBLEMA XCVI.
Voce boat torva, praelargo est gutture, rostrum
Instar habet nasi, multiforisque tubae.
Deformem rabulam, addictum ventrique gulaeque
Signabit, volucer cùm Truo pictus erit.
It screams with a harsh cry, it has an enormous throat, a beak like a spout or a many-holed trumpet. The pelican bird, when painted, will indicate an ugly ranter, enslaved to lust and belly.
