Impudence deshontée.
Scylla diforme
est dessus belle femme:
Dessoubz, de chiens abayans monstre infame,[1]
Les monstres sont Rapt, Avarice, Audace:
Et Scylla est qui n’ha vergoigne en face.
Par Scylla monstre marin, ou roch, ayant face
vir-
ginalle, & le bas plein de testes
de chiens abayans:
est signifiée la belle forme exterieure d’homme, ou
de femme, qui interieurement ha trois vices
de chien Rapine, Avarice, & Audace effrontée.
1. For Scylla’s half-transformation into barking dogs, see Ovid, Metamorphoses, 14.51ff.
