Le captif pour sa gourmandie.
Le Rat regnant au cellier, rongeant tout,
Des huystres vit baillantes par un bout:
Sa barbe y mit: & faux os il attrape,
Lesquelztouchés feirent tomber la trape,
Et le larron en prison ont tenu,
Qui par soy mesme en sa fosse est venu.[1]
Plusieurs se rendent serfz, captifz aux bonnes
maisons seulement pour les bons morceaux, plu-
sieurs aussi font leur fosse avec les dens, se
procu-
rans mort avant aage, par exces de gourmandie.

In garrulum & gulosum.
Against a noisy and gluttonous fellow
EMBLEMA XCV.
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.
