Link to an image of this page [P5v f104v]His oculis [=oculi]
vigiles, & forfice plurimus ordo
Chelarum armatus, maximaque alvus adest.
Sic tibi propensus stat pingui abdomine venter,
Pernicesque pedes, spiculaque apta pedi.
Cum vagus in triviis, mensaeque sedilibus erras,
Inque alios mordax scommata falsa iacis.
Receive these river crabs which we present to you. These gifts match your character. They have watchful eyes, and a great row of claws armed with a pincer, and a huge gut is there. You too have a protruding belly with fat paunch, scuttling feet and sharp weapons on them, as you hang about the crossroads or move among the seats at table, and maliciously shoot your stinging, libellous witticisms.
Das CLXI.
Wider die Zutüttler und Suppen-
fresser.
Die Krebs die wir dir jetzt hiemit
Schicken, soltu außschlagen nit
Dann sie kommen gleich uberein
Mit deinen geberden in gmein
Gleich wie die Krebs hand ein hell gsicht
Und vil füsse zum gang gericht
Mit den Scheren sie zwacken auch
Darzu habens ein grossen Bauch
Also hast du ein feisten wanst
Und schnelle Füß damit du kanst
Hin und wider in schneller eil
Außtheilen dein vergiffte Pfeil
Dieweil du auff den Gassen all
Darzu ob dem Tisch in dem Sal
Eim jeden schlechst ein Blechlin an
Und hönisch verspotts jederman.
